    JOHN LASSETER: What really is left is the basic concept that a dog has been raised on the set of a TV show and believes it is real. Chris Anders [director of American Dog] is a good friend of mine and he's a brilliant film maker, but he had a vision that was a little more out there than we felt the film should be. So it was one of those rare times when you have to make a change of director. We've had to do it with Toy Story Two, with Ratatouille and now with Bolt. Anyway, I brought in Chris Williamson and Byron Howard and they restarted the film to the story that you now see. It's completely different.

    So the Studios' publicity machine couldn't even spell Chris Sanders' name correctly?

    Seems that the person listening to the transcript heard it as 'Chris Anders' rather than 'Chris Sanders'

    Like 'is it an ice house' or 'a nice house' ??

    See what I mean? You like that?

    Oh well.
