Reviews for The Pixar Story
The Pixar Story should be required viewing for film school students as it shows what following through and persevering through hardships can get you.
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.
Pixar ceases to be a particularly interesting documentary subject once it becomes known as the studio who can do no wrong
"art challenges the technology and the technology inspires the art." - John Lasseter
For a company promotional film, The Pixar Story is pretty tasty stuff.
