But it’s his last call I’ll always remember. He wanted me to write a Pixar movie. I told him I loved Pixar movies, I’d seen all of them at least twice and felt they were small miracles, but that I didn’t think I’d be good at it.
Hears the interview that Jobs gave to Sorkin-
STEVE: Why not?
ME: I just—I don’t think I can make inanimate objects talk.
STEVE: Once you make them talk they won’t be inanimate.
ME: The truth is I don’t know how to tell those stories. I have a young kid who loves Pixar movies and she’ll turn cartwheels if I tell her I’m writing one and I don’t want to disappoint her by writing the only bad movie in the history of Pixar.
(long silence)
STEVE: Jeez … write about THAT.
ME: Steve—
STEVE: Why don’t you come up here and let me give you a tour of the place.
Then this is what Sorkin said- I told him I’d take him up on it and I never did. But I still keep thinking about that Pixar movie.
Sounds good huh? I hope that Sorkin takes up Jobs' offer. I like how Jobs said "Once you make them talk they wont inanimate". But this will probably not happen, but its those out-of the -box thinking that made Jobs so extraordinary.
