In an interview with Telegraph animation pioneer John Lasseter explains why the studio bucked Hollywood’s obsession with computers to create its latest cartoon adventure, The Princess and The Frog.

“Doing our job right means making the story and the characters truly timeless, not dependent on topical humour. Look at the films of Walt Disney: Snow White came out in February 1938, and I can’t think of another film from that year that’s watched as much."
