We make the kind of movies we like. We make the kind of movies we like to take our families to. And if it matches what your requirements are for you, then great. I would just be sort of putting myself into vapor lock if I tried to second guess anything. So I'm very uncomfortable with being able to put people into a box and label them.

What are the main things you want people to take away from this movie?

Stanton: Well, my biggest thing is just that they really had a good time—that they really got transported and felt something, because to me, that's a great story and a great movie, that you made me care. And typically that's because you've tapped into some truth. Truth isn't always pretty, truth isn't always fair, and truth isn't always inviting. But when you tap into it the right way you can't ignore it, and it touches you to your core. That's what I'm a junkie for when I see a great movie or hear a great story told, and that's what I'm really trying to go for when I'm doing any kind of story.
