Why is curiosity so important? How do we stop being complacent?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are reacting to WALLE and comparing and contrasting curiosity and complacency. Jonathan talks about how WALLE’s contagious curiosity affects everyone he meets and shakes them out of complacency. He also explains why curiosity is so important for our mental health. Alan is in awe of Pixar’s filmmaking and storytelling expertise in conveying so much with so few words. Pixar is so good that he’s kind of upset. Damn you, Pixar!
