Lasseter in his own words

I thought I knew John Lasseter's story pretty well, but I learned some interesting things in this CNNMoney.com article . . . I had no idea John was fired from Disney! I was thinking of Steve Hulett's post about workplace politics as I read that, though in John's case it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. Because the article is mostly in John's own words, I think it gives some nice insights into what the man is about, and is more revealing than when I've heard him speak in person. It's well worth a read, and also features a nifty Pixar timeline.
