The Pixar Story

Leslie Iwerks directed/produced a new documentary film called The Pixar Story. It’s a behind the scenes look at Pixar — how Steve Jobs, Ed Catmull and John Lasseter created a new animation industry with the film Toy Story.

The film is screening across the US in a few cities at the moment. Unfortunately Toronto isn’t on the list or I’d be there in a second. I’ll post an update if it gets a theatrical release any time soon.

The Pixar Story (2007) is a great topic for a documentary film and it has exclusive interviews with Jobs, Catmull, Lasseter, Brad Bird, Michael Eisner, George Lucas and more. I wonder when an Apple documentary will be released? Is anyone working on one?

Update:

Frames Per Second Magazine said that The Pixar Story will be showing at The Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema (WFAC) next Thursday (Nov 15, 6:30 PM). Does anybody want to go?
