Grand Kirby 11/21/17 9:30:41 PM #7:	Sources say some women at Pixar knew to turn their heads quickly when encountering him to avoid his kisses. Some used a move they called "the Lasseter" to prevent their boss from putting his hands on their legs. A longtime insider says he saw a woman seated next to Lasseter in a meeting that occurred more than 15 years ago. "She was bent over and [had her arm] across her thigh," he says. "The best I can describe it is as a defensive posture ... John had his hand on her knee, though, moving around." After that encounter, this person asked the woman about what he had seen. "She said it was unfortunate for her to wear a skirt that day and if she didn't have her hand on her own right leg, his hand would have traveled." I mean... yikes. --- Okay, I rolled a 14.

HeroDelTiempo17 11/22/17 1:01:51 AM #25:	Yeah he's been executive producer on most Disney and Pixar movies since Princess and the Frog. Even if you don't like the upcoming sequel hell, he was also a big player in everything since Disney's "revival." Still, it's for the best and I don't really expect the quality to nosedive.
