Sorry to all if this has been posted before. I found this Blog about J.L. and found it most interesting. Especially the part about Disney "suits" holding him back:
"In a nut shell, the current philosophies of Disney management prevent Lasseter from doing certain things he’d love to do. When two ideas are presented- one that completely appeals to nerds like you and me (fixing Journey, Western River Expedition, etc.), and one based on something that recently made $800,000,000 at the box office- you can guess which will win."
I highly recommend a full read of the entire Blog!
