After watching Waking Sleeping Beauty, I had read about The Pixar Story. Ironically, it was on TV so I DVR'ed it. I thought this story was so intriguing and fun to hear about. Pixar is such a breakthrough company & they made the first computer animated movie....Toy Story! They continue to have hit after hit with films such as Bug's Life, Incredibles, and of course, Finding Nemo.
Pixar & Disney are actually partners. They almost broke up that partnership but after Disney got a new CEO in 2005, that relationship became stronger. Steve Jobs(from Apple) is actually a huge part of starting Pixar and a big shareholder of Disney.
Pixar was a huge risk & it took many, many years to make Toy Story. At first, Disney didn't get the movie or how it was going to come together. There were re-writes and many long days and nights. But, Pixar continues to be a success.
Pixar is actually located here in the Bay Area. I would love to see their offices - they look like so much fun! In the documentary, they showed this huge office where people were using scooters to get around. Everyone's office was also decorated however they wanted it. One guy said, "Our mentality is, every office is a blank canvas." How fun.
This one was interesting to watch so I recommend The Pixar Story.
