Reviews for The Pixar Story
There is nothing short of a giddy delight in watching the fine folks who founded PIXAR living out their dreams in ways much larger than even they could ever have imagined
Iwerks may not have the gumption to pop open Pixar's hood and explore the mechanics, but she's created something warmly nostalgic and uplifting instead.
For a company promotional film, The Pixar Story is pretty tasty stuff.
"art challenges the technology and the technology inspires the art." - John Lasseter
The Pixar Story should be required viewing for film school students as it shows what following through and persevering through hardships can get you.
Pixar ceases to be a particularly interesting documentary subject once it becomes known as the studio who can do no wrong
