Lightyear Interview

To Infinity… AND BEYOND!

As a huge Pixar fan, it was a true pleasure to discuss all things Lightyear with Director/Co-Writer Angus MacLane & Producer Galyn Susman! Wow, I honestly can’t believe I can say that. My younger self wouldn’t have ever guessed this would happen but it was a joy to be a part of it and I can’t wait for more. I’ve always wanted to work at Pixar, it just seems like quite a dreamy place to work at? This made speaking to these ‘actual’ Pixar creatives all the more special. Wall.e is my favourite Pixar film, so while we wait for a sequel to that (we’re getting one… right?), we have Lightyear to keep us occupied. Thank you to Disney for making it all possible!
