Leave your thoughts about The Pixar Story.
| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' Larsuel"art challenges the technology and the technology inspires the art." - John Lasseter |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseThere 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 |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekFor a company promotional film, The Pixar Story is pretty tasty stuff. |
| About.comRebecca MurrayThe Pixar Story should be required viewing for film school students as it shows what following through and persevering through hardships can get you. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfIwerks 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. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickPixar ceases to be a particularly interesting documentary subject once it becomes known as the studio who can do no wrong |
| User ReviewGde AAbsolutely oustanding Doc. on the creation and history of PIXAR. I love origin stories and this is truly a great one. Seeing John Lassiter go from losing his dreams to becoming the head creative honcho at all of Disney with make you want to pop with joy for him. PIXAR is truly a house of genius and we are living in another golden age of animation due to Lassiter, Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird and others. |
| User ReviewTom GA perfect documentary and a highly interesting viewing. |
| User ReviewCade HIf you are a fan of Pixar (which I think about 99% of the population is) you have to see this documentary. I was surprised at how this movie just kept my sole attention for 90 minutes and it was all interviews and behind the scenes looks at Pixar. There are so many amazing facts revealed in this film that blew me away and after watching it I have even more of an appreciation for the people in the company. There is nothing exciting or funny about this, but the whole entire time you will be captivated by the story of how Pixar came to be. |
| User ReviewCassie HThe stories of the ups and downs of how our favorite disney pixar films were created for so inspiring. You find out how the magic happened and how it continues to in the world of disney. Truly magnificent. |
