What kind of people does it take to make movies as wonderful as Pixar’s movies? Wonderful people, it seems. Letters of Note has a letter from Pixar animator Aaron Hartline to an aspiring animator who wrote to him: “When I took a tour at Disney right out of high school, I showed the tour guide/animator my work. She said ‘It’s easier to get a job as a basketball player than getting a animator position at Walt Disney Studios’. My mom said ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ I was so angry. So motivated. I knew if I worked hard that one day..some day..I could do it! Took me 14 years of trying but it happened.â€
