The film was probably shot in early 2007, with Ratatouille shots, but there are very few and no introduction. However, it is estimated that most of the interviews are even earlier. For example, the fat Steve Jobs in it looks like 2005 or 2006.
This is a vertical history. It’s a good selection. John Lasseter, as the spiritual leader of Pixar, lays the foundation; Steve Jobs has the insight and knowledge; Andrew Stanton and Brad Bird are determined to forge ahead; and George Lucas, Tom Hanks are from another perspective. The opinions given are precious.
Such a documentary has an exciting power. It is not fast and slow, but it is imperceptible. When you see John Lasseter say: "Others ask me why I always get the best parking space. I tell him because I am three. I parked my car here a few days ago, and I have been sleeping at the company these days.” When I saw Pixar's inception, Steve Jobs lost millions every year and still insisted on investing...Looking back, you will think it’s all It is worthwhile to personally promote the revolution of 3D animation films and to create such a history. It is all worthwhile.
The only regret is that the horizontal comparison only highlights the contradiction between 3D animation and traditional 2D animation at the time of the change of times. As a foreshadowing of Disney's acquisition of Pixar, it is slightly inadequate. Pixar is not alone in this 3D animation revolution. , DreamWorks, BlueSky, etc. also contributed. The introduction of this aspect did not appear in this film.
In addition, as a technician, I was not able to see the internal workflow of Pixar, including how important software such as RenderMan was developed. It is also a little regrettable.
