Editorial Review: Product Description: In 1986, gifted animator John Lasseter, technology guru Ed Catmull, and visionary Steve Jobs founded Pixar Animation Studios. Their goal: create a computer animated feature, despite predictions that it could never be done. An unprecedented catalog of blockbuster films later, the studio is honoring its history in this deluxe volume. From its fledgling days under George Lucas to ten demanding years creating Toy Story to the merger with Disney, each milestone is vibrantly detailed. Interviews with Pixar directors, producers, animators, voice talent, and industry insiders, as well as concept art, storyboards, and snapshots illuminate a history that is both definitive and enthralling.

 Rating: - This book is so full of storyWatch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R5CLRG2QVFHL This book is stunning. Simply stunning. This is the latest collection to my Pixar artbook.

The book starts with the original background of the pixar machine as a calculating machine to the point where Disney takes over. I also have almost every Pixar ...

Also the author did a good job at documenting the history of the company. However, in the making of this book someone made a couple of mistakes. There are tens of images which have unacceptable 'pixelation' (i.e. blockiness due to overstretching of digital images). Especially the full page spread on p. 220 jumps out with pixels blown up to almost milimeter size! This is quite dissappointing ...
