One longtime insider says he saw a woman seated next to Lasseter in a meeting that occurred more than 15 years ago.
In , one former Pixar insider says Lasseter was spoken to — this person assumes by Iger ; Disney would not comment — regarding an incident that occurred the night before Up won best animated feature at the Oscars. At a party that evening, Lasseter , who is married, was seen indiscreetly making out with a Disney marketing employee. For a time after that, his behavior was muted; he later told an associate that he had gotten into trouble and as a result was drinking only beer at a company event.
Over time, sources say, there were complaints to human resources at both Pixar and Disney Animation. Disney declined to comment. Jorgen Klubien is a controversial figure in animation circles: A strong-willed Dane who can be blunt to a fault, he is seen as talented but difficult. Whether his faults outweigh his artistry or vice versa is a matter of opinion. Klubien met Lasseter in when Klubien , then 20, was offered a scholarship to the nascent CalArts animation program.
At the time, Lasseter was an award-winning senior. Tim Burton was a junior. Both were hired at Disney and for a time, they shared a house near the studio. Disney was in a relatively fallow period. The two were put to work on The Fox and the Hound. Lasseter , who by several accounts was not an especially talented draftsman, left the company in Technology held more appeal. For a time, Klubien and Lasseter went their separate ways; Lasseter met Ed Catmull , who invited him to work at a new Bay Area computer graphics unit within Lucasfilm.
Ultimately, Steve Jobs bought that unit and it became Pixar, with Catmull and Lasseter in leadership roles. He was credited for helping develop the story and as a storyboard artist but came away feeling that he had not been credited properly as a writer on the film. Concluding that the way to advance was to pitch his own idea for a movie — as Docter had done with Monsters, Inc. He says he was advised simply to talk to Lasseter. Lasseter liked the idea and told him to start drawing to flesh it out.
Klubien says he worked for three months on drawings of settings and characters that appear very similar to those in the finished film.
Then he pitched the project to Lasseter again but got no immediate response. He went to work on Monsters, Inc. But then he heard that Lasseter wanted to move ahead on a cars movie. He checked in with Lasseter , who said he did want to go forward but with a different plot from the one Klubien had proposed. With that, Klubien and Ranft set to work on scripting and illustrating the main beats of the new story and, according to Klubien , created a version that had all the main elements of the finished movie.
Skydance is best known as the company behind a number of action or science fiction franchises on television and in film, partnering with Paramount Pictures on Star Trek: Into Darkness and Star Trek: Beyond and producing movies in the Mission: Impossible , Jack Reacher , and G.
Joe series. Its animation division, launched in , lists at least four feature movies currently in planning. Lasseter was one of a large number of public figures who had been dogged by persistent accusations of sexual harassment for years, but details were vague until Pixar employees and former employees began coming forward, writing about how his leadership enabled a toxic, openly sexist environment at Pixar.
