An Amazing Story
Whether you're a Pixar fan or not this is a fantastic book. It is extremely well written and begins by giving you an outline of the people instrumental in making Pixar the company it is today, John Lasseter, Ed Catmull, and of course Steve Jobs of Apple. The book then goes on to tell the story of how Pixar came to be and I say story as the book reads like a novel as it leads you through each twist and turn of the evolution of the Pixar company up to it being acquired by Disney.

It's not a technical book, although it does explain the remarkable technical achievements made by Pixar, it's a people book and you will get to know and admire the many people who worked so hard to make Pixar a success.

When I finished the book I had nothing but admiration for Pixar's philosophy and determination and for the people involved in creating such a marvellous studio. Enjoy!

This book is so full of story
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2AI17OQWSK3UA This book is stunning. Simply stunning.

This is the latest collection to my Pixar artbook. Almost immediately, I wrapped the book up to protect the cover from the elements. The bright green cover is made of cloth-like fabric and attracts dust easily. After picking it from my desk from photographing it, some parts of the cover had already became dirty!

Old school photos, high resolution renders, great writing filled the pages made of high quality paper stock.

It tells the history of Pixar animation studios before there was Pixar animation studios, all the way up to the Disney bought-over. It stops just right before Ratatouille or there would probably be more written on Brad Bird. You'll find the true meaning of passion, determination and the love for their art.

If you've owned other Pixar artbooks, you'll be pleased to note that there are quite a lot of new, never-been-printed photos in the book. You're going to see tons of new images.

There are more pictures on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for my blog's link.
