More Lasseter Interview - The Mouse That Roared

John Lasseter is getting interviewed a lot lately, especially over the pond in the UK. We had a rather in-depth piece by the Financial Times recently. Here's another one that paints (probably accurately) a more manic and hyperactive Lasseter.

Meanwhile, his people are hopping from foot to foot, barging in whenever he pauses for breath, which isn't often. We're in a central London hotel, it's rush hour, and Lasseter has to catch the Eurostar to Paris to promote Disney's latest film, Bolt. He should have left half an hour ago. Still, he keeps talking. Finally, even I'm trying to get a word in to tell him we should wrap it up. But of course Road Runner's legs never slow down, even when he races over the cliff edge.


I guess this is all occurring while he's in Europe promoting Bolt and getting all the publicity for it.

Zz.
