The Pixar Story In Theaters
One of the things I really love so much about Pixar is their sense of history. They love the work they’ve done as much as we do, and they revel in keeping track of just how it all happened.
Beginning this week we’re all going to get a chance to peek inside Pixar and see how it all happened. An independently made documentary called The Pixar Story is hitting 14 cities around the country, and if you’re any kind of Pixar or animation fan it sounds like something you don’t want to miss. But I’ll shut up, here’s how they describe it: The Pixar Story takes audiences behind the scenes of the groundbreaking company that pioneered a new generation of animation and forever changed the face of filmmaking. Using never-before-seen footage from the Pixar library, along with historic archival animation and first hand accounts by animators, studio executives, directors, producers and voice performers, Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks tells the riveting story of the Bay Area start-up that revolutionized Hollywood. In the mid 1980s, an inspired and inspiring trio of innovators combined their gifts in art, science and business to launch a new way to make 3-D animated films and changed the face of filmmaking forever. Ed Catmull, John Lasseter and Steve Jobs overcame years of creative struggle and financial loss to launch an entirely new animation industry. Starting with the first full length CG film Toy Story, Pixar has entertained millions of people worldwide, and established an unprecedented and as yet unparalleled record of box-office success. Iwerks takes viewers on a dramatic journey filled with personal sacrifice and fueled by passionate belief in the possibilities of a new medium as Pixar Animation Studios is born. The Pixar Story features exclusive interviews with some of the key players in the Pixar story including John Lasseter, Ed Catmull, Steve Jobs, George Lucas, Michael Eisner, Bob Iger, Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal, Tim Allen, Brad Bird and more. Below is a full listing of where and when it’ll be showing. Look for me at the Landmark Magnolia in Dallas.
