The Pixar Story

Facinationg look into how Pixar was founded, with a lot of concentration on John Lasseter, as there should be. Very well done, and they didn't spin it with the national enquirer type stuff that so many "story of" documentaries fall back on.

I thought I was well educated about Pixar, but I learned a few things and recommend this film for anyone who wants to know more about the history of Pixar, computer animation as well as the corporate culture of Pixar and a few insights into the development of the original Toy Story, which originally headed in a very different direction.

Still they neglected to mention Howard the Duck, which I had heard indebted George Lucas and motivated him to sell off his computer graphics division. Still not sure if that is true.
