      Andrea Chase Killer Movie Reviews There 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 Rated: 4/5 Jan 13, 2008 Full Review Rebecca Murray About.com The Pixar Story should be required viewing for film school students as it shows what following through and persevering through hardships can get you. Rated: B- Jan 4, 2008 Full Review Brian Orndorf eFilmCritic.com Iwerks 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. Rated: B Dec 6, 2007 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk Pixar ceases to be a particularly interesting documentary subject once it becomes known as the studio who can do no wrong Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 4, 2007 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Nov 24, 2007 Full Review Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3BlackChicks Review "art challenges the technology and the technology inspires the art." - John Lasseter Rated: 5/5 Nov 11, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jacob B While certain aspects of the documentary have sadly aged like milk thanks to certain changes in real life (not just John Lasseter but also the ending where a desire was expressed to have 2D animation make a comeback; a gamble that didn't pay off after The Princess and the Frog wasn't the box office smash Disney was hoping for), The Pixar Story is otherwise a really good documentary on the revolutionary animation studio, not afraid to admit how troubled their productions could get, offering interesting insight into how they brought groundbreaking new animation techniques to the table and even getting to see some, as far as I know, rare footage of Pixar staff just having fun. A really good documentary that's sure to please Pixar fans and aspiring animators alike. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Charles H Incredible film that I honestly like watching more than some of the movies. One of my favorite quotes is "Most overnight successes took a long time." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A documentary film about the rise of Pixar and the development of their first six films. Narrated by Stacy Keach and told through interviews, the film focuses on the professional career of John Lasseter and how he and Steve Jobs founded Pixar. This movie is directed by Leslie Iwerks, who is the granddaughter of Ub Iwerks, the co-creator of Mickey Mouse with Walt Disney. This film is well put together and features relevant interviews. Since Pixar is still producing hit films, they should make an updated version or sequel that includes the more modern achievements. A film worth your time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Achei muito bacana a forma em que foi feito o documentário, mostrando de uma forma bem organizada como tudo começou e como foi feito os filmes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member If you love & appreciate Pixar, this is an absolute must watch ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Pixar doesn't fail, even with a documentary about Pixar! #PixarDoesntFail Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
