The Pixar Touch

By David A. Price
The Pixar Touch by David A. Price digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year

The Pixar Touch is a lively chronicle of Pixar Animation Studios' history and evolution, and the “fraternity of geeks” who shaped it. With the help of animating genius John Lasseter and visionary businessman Steve Jobs, Pixar has become the gold standard of animated filmmaking, beginning with a short special effects shot made at Lucasfilm in 1982 all the way up through the landmark films Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, and others. David A. Price goes behind the scenes of the corporate feuds between Lasseter and his former champion, Jeffrey Katzenberg, as well as between Jobs and Michael Eisner. And finally he explores Pixar's complex relationship with the Walt Disney Company as it transformed itself into the $7.4 billion jewel in the Disney crown.

“Simple solid little book that’s very easy to read. Language used is very causal yet highly informative which made this a book I couldn’t put down once I started. There’s great research here about Pixar’s early years during the SIGGRAPH days which I found really informative as someone who didn’t know much about it. Would love to see a rehash of this book considering the massive changes Pixar has had since 2007.”
