The Pixar Story
Last night I watched a little documentary called The Pixar Story. The origins of Pixar is quite interesting. John Lasseter was working at Disney and after seeing Tron became interested in computer graphics for animation. Then after spending eight months doing a treatment for the first CG feature, The Brave Little Toaster, was fired by Disney (he now oversees all animation for the company).
It interviews George Lucas who originally started Pixar and why he sold it to Steve Jobs. It discusses the creation of Pixar hit up to Cars and how Pixar changed the animated genre.
But most interestingly it discusses how Pixar creates its films, what inspires the writers, directors, producers and animators.
It is a truly fascinating and inspirational look at one of the most creative and successful companies around. It is worth checking out.
If you have Starz, the documentary will be on all this month, otherwise I recommend renting it.
