John Lasseter
John Alan Lasseter ( ; born January 12, 1957) is an American film director, producer, and animator. He has served as the Head of Animation at Skydance Animation since 2019. Previously, he acted as the chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Disneytoon Studios, as well as the Principal Creative Advisor for Walt Disney Imagineering.Lasseter began his career as an animator with The Walt Disney Company. After being fired from Disney for promoting computer animation, he joined Lucasfilm, where he worked on then-groundbreaking usage of CGI animation. The Graphics Group of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm was sold to Steve Jobs and became Pixar in 1986. Lasseter oversaw all of Pixar's films and associated projects. He personally directed ''Toy Story'' (1995), ''A Bug's Life'' (1998), ''Toy Story 2'' (1999), ''Cars'' (2006), and ''Cars 2'' (2011), and executive-produced all other Pixar films through 2018. From 2006 to 2018, Lasseter also oversaw all of Walt Disney Animation Studios' (and its division Disneytoon Studios') films and associated projects as executive producer.
His works have grossed more than 19 billion, making him one of the most financially successful filmmakers of all time. Of the eight animated films that have grossed over US$1 billion, five of them were executive produced by Lasseter: ''Toy Story 3'' (2010)—the first animated film to surpass $1 billion—and ''Frozen'' (2013)—the third-highest-grossing animated film of all time—as well as ''Zootopia'' (2016), ''Finding Dory'' (2016), and ''Incredibles 2'' (2018). ''Frozen'' also held the title of the highest-grossing animated film of all time until 2019, and was the fifth-highest-grossing film of all time at the end of its theatrical run. He has won two Academy Awards, for Best Animated Short Film (for ''Tin Toy''), as well as a Special Achievement Award (for ''Toy Story'').
In November 2017, Lasseter took a six-month sabbatical from Pixar and Disney Animation after acknowledging what he called "missteps" in his behavior with employees. According to various news outlets, Lasseter had a history of alleged sexual misconduct toward employees. In June 2018, Disney announced that he would be leaving the company at the end of the year when his contract expired; he took on a consulting role until then. Following his departure from Disney and Pixar, Lasseter was later hired by Skydance founder and CEO David Ellison to run the animation division Skydance Animation. Provided by Wikipedia
