Good comedy films, if you listen to the score, the music is not trying to be funny. It's always, in a way, underscoring the tragedy and struggle of the main character.

I never saw a Laurel & Hardy movie in a theater when they first ran, when I was a kid. But as a child, I knew who they were, and knew the culture of it, what they meant.

From the moment we started working on the first 'Wreck-It Ralph,' we knew there were so many possibilities with these characters.

A good movie makes the audience feel like they've journeyed with the characters.

As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.

There was a moment with 'Zootopia' where we said, 'This is the experiment: let's try Judy in the role of the protagonist. Let her character introduce us to the city and this world.' And suddenly, all that struggling and trying to make traction into this story was done.

So much of the time spent on 'Zootopia' was inventing it. What does it look like? How does it work?

Rather than just making a movie about video games, I wanted to start with the character and what the character was going through.

I don't like movies, TV shows, or books or anything that's preaching to the audience or speaking down to us.

When I was young, I was on a real hot streak with 'Crazy Climber.' There was a good three-week span where I couldn't get that game out of my head. I could not get back to the arcade fast enough to try and climb up there and not get kicked by a potted plant this time. That one got under my skin.
