But the movie was originally his idea, when he was a little brown kid and feelings of alienation or whatever. I think you'd be surprised the amount of leeway they give senior creative types at places like Pixar. That's why the movies have such massive budgets even though they all look the same and are just made on computers in a building somewhere. They'll spend years just fucking around. The higher-ups will basically let you get your shot to do what you want; but if "your movie" bombs then you will get axed in the next round of layoffs. Look at what happened with the director of Lightyear.
