Pixar promotes creativity by hosting unique events like mean caricature nights, where employees draw humorous caricatures of each other. This playful approach, advocated by chief creative officer Pete Docter, helps lower fear and foster a fun environment, which he believes leads to better creative output. The need for such activities arises from their tightly packed workdays. As the studio faces challenges in original filmmaking amidst audience preference for sequels, Docter emphasizes the importance of taking creative risks, as seen in their upcoming film, "Elio," set to release soon.
"To some degree, we make cartoons, so we're starting out in a good place, but we really try to foster as much play as we can."
"It's a rough time, and all we can do is try to make movies that I think are led by us—we have to believe in them."
