The Amazing Home of John Lasseter

Take a look at the Sonoma, California residence of John and Nancy Lasseter. Also, take a peak into a busy day at Pixar Studios.

Train Library

Model railroads travel throughout various rooms of the house, both above one's head and below the feet.

To access the Train Library: none other than a secret, hidden staircase. 


Hawaiian Shirt Closet

Over 370 Hawaiian-style shirts.


Trophy Room


Wine Cellar


Kitchen / Dining Room


Gym / Backyard

We need to see more pics of the backyard, John! From what I can tell, there is are (at minimum) water slides going into a pool. In the two photos above it almost resembles River Country.

Below we see a satellite view of the mini water park-like backyard, as well as the rest of the home. Beautiful home in beautiful beautiful Northern California. 

The estate is located some 60 miles from Pixar in Emeryville. But worry not, John has a driver to take him to/from the Studio. And for good reason. I wonder if that black SUV made a cameo in Cars 2? Hmm. If so, it surely had a clever and punerific name.

This is fascinating. John approves animation and provides notes from his iPad.

"A Day in the Life of John Lasseter" Video

Thanks John Lassetire. Oh, I mean Lasseter. Remember to send us photos of your cool backyard!

Wow! What a great insight into the workings of John Lasseter and Pixar. I would really like to see more of his 'River Country'.

If I made that much money, I would have a secret staircase in my house too. That's way awesome!

Love it. Dying to see more of the backyard.

Does the Hawaiian shirt closet remind anyone else of Imelda Marcos?

I'm up for more of this. Come on.........with all those silly reality shows this would hit the mark so much better.
