Trains, Wine, Cars and Toys – A Day With John Lasseter


posted by Aaron

To help promote Cars 2, the Disney/Pixar team recently released a 25-minute piece titled A Day In The Life of John Lasseter. The first section of the video is essentially Pixar: Cribs – with Lasseter walking us through his Hawaiian shirt collection, his trains, Oscars, wine cellar and movie theater. Then at the 6-minute mark, Lasseter leaves his Sonoma Valley mansion and heads to work. And this father of 5 could almost be mistaken for Lots-O-Huggin Bear – the man likes to hug it out!
