As far as I know, this is a first.
Andrew Stanton, ex-Lotus now at Pixar accepted the award for Wall-E.
I believe as a writer, perhaps now director?
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't work at Pixar, aside from my kids loving me for it, how often can you say you created something which lives forever in a kid's or adults eye?
Congrats to Andy and it goes to show you there is a whole world out there waiting for you if you have the drive.

I love what I do for a living. But the truth is, if I had the opportunity to go work at Pixar I would vanish in a clout of dust shaped just like shadow.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that Andrew Stanton worked at Lotus? Where did you get your info?
ReplyDeleteHe grew up in the Boston area (Rockport, MA), attended CalArt and started at Pixar in 1990 (see http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/articles/2008/06/22/wall_e_world/?p1=Well_MostPop_Emailed5).
