Finding the Next Yes with Tone Thyne Part II

Welcome to Part Two of our Valentine’s special edition with Tone Thyne. You know his work from Disney animation, Wonder Pets, Napkin Man and other universally loved original content. You even know his face as the model for Disney’s Toy Story hero, Woody. 

In Part Two, you’ll hear the origin of Tone’s friendship with failure and the emotionally harrowing journey of staving off despair with perseverance and the evolution of will power and personal faith it has taken for this remarkable business man and creator to become Vice President of Creative at FableVision. You will literally hang on his every word as he find his way past NO after NO to find the next YES.

Highlights include:

“Ray Bradbury said, ‘Sometimes you need to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down.’ And I think well, maybe I need to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down.”

“It's interesting, because all of those rejection stories, as Kate said, you know, it’s such a intimate relationship with failure that has really set me up beautifully, for pitching an idea to a network and having them go, “Oh, we already have something that's too similar to that already” or a network to say, “That doesn't really hit our demographic that we're looking for right now.” So, I go back, and try again.”

“How is anybody going to help you get to where you want to go unless you tell them where you want to go?”

 “What I aspire to do is to create children's content that helps shape the citizens of tomorrow. I mean, what an amazing, awesome responsibility it is to create children's programming for kids, and help form them into good kind people.”
