John Lasseter was aghast at the prospect of breaking up with Disney.
約翰·拉塞特對喬布斯決定與迪士尼分家的消息大為震驚。

“我擔心我的‘孩子們’，那些人會怎么對待我們創造出來的這些角色呢？”他回憶道，
"It was like a dagger to my heart."
“就像匕首刺中了我的心。”
When he told his top staff in the Pixar conference room, he started crying,

and he did so again when he addressed the eight hundred or so Pixar employees gathered in the studio's atrium.

"It's like you have these dear children and you have to give them up to be adopted by convicted child molesters."
“這種感覺就像，你有一群可愛的孩子們，而現在不得不放棄他們，而且還把他們交給了被控有虐童罪的人來收養。”
Jobs came to the atrium stage next and tried to calm things down.

and he assured them that Pixar as an institution had to keep looking forward to be successful.

"Suddenly, we all had the confidence that, whatever happened, Pixar would flourish."
