Thank You, Pixar.

Thank you, Mr. Lasseter and you Pixar pioneers. With every documentary and interview about your studio that I watch, I know I'm on the right track.

Your passion for strong stories, memorable characters and high quality work has been nothing but inspirational.

On those days when I drag myself out of bed -sore, worn out and contemplating the reasons for continuing my movie- those inspirational quotes stuck to my wall push me onward. It is as if I am associating with kindred spirits, reading those quotes, even though we are very much unknown to one another.

In a world where animation is sometimes observed with raised eyebrows and often crammed into a place reserved for one age group, to hear people express just how much they love creating animation for everyone -treating it as the art form it is- that is so emotionally stirring for me.

If there was a way to let you guys know how much your enthusiasm and vision drives Outcast Hero, I would.
