John Lasseter:
When I was in high school, it dawned on me: People make cartoons for a living. They actually get paid to make cartoons. That's what I wanna do!

Billy Crystal:
These people think think differently than normal people. They're strange - in the best way.

Narrator:
For the last 20 years, a group of artists and scientists have transformed two-dimensional drawings into their own three-dimensional worlds. [clips from various movies]

Thomas Porter:
Art challenges technology. Technology inspires art.

John Lasseter:
The best scientists and engineers are just as creative as the best storytellers.

Tim Allen:
[about his Buzz Lightyear character] I had no idea, visually, what this would look like. He let me stretch it a little bit, and really make it this really - kind of a closed-head injury kind of a guy.

Steve Jobs:
[about Pixar's growing pains] Our business depends upon collaboration. And it depends upon unplanned collaboration.

Billy Crystal:
These people think differently than normal people. They're strange - in the best way.
