Out of the blue, I received this offer and invitation to be a part of this movie, ‘The Good Dinosaur.’ I turned to my Pixar experts, my kids, and asked them what this could all be about. Of course, they flipped out, and it was pretty obvious from their reaction that I was going to do this.
I feel it is obvious when someone has thought too much about what they’re wearing.
