John Lasseter built his career on the idea that computer animation could still feel handmade, and this profile follows him through a single working day at Pixar. He started as a Disney animator before moving to Lucasfilm's Computer Division, where he helped pioneer CGI animation in the years before that division spun off into Pixar in 1986. By the time of filming he holds the title of chief creative officer at both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, plus principal creative advisor to Walt Disney Imagineering, and the film uses his signature Hawaiian shirts as a small visual shorthand for a personality that runs the opposite of corporate. The camera stays close to his actual routine, moving through story meetings and creative reviews rather than narrating his resume, showing how one person's taste ended up shaping the look and feel of modern animated film.
