The Pixar Touch

I recently finished reading the book The Pixar Touch by David Price and have not had an opportunity to reflect on it yet – it’s cool! I have a mixed love for cartoons and technology, so Pixar hits both areas for me.

What I love about the book is how various relationships tie to one another. The story begins in the 1960’s when some college students began to play around with computer animation – back in the day when computers displayed nothing but lines of text in a system font.

When the story reaches the point where Pixar is releasing movies, each becomes the focal point of a different section. The Pixar Touch contains a pretty neat synopsis of the behind the scenes development of each project. The movies you’ve watched next to your kids suddenly have stories behind the stories.

The book inspires creativity and best of all – it’s extremely fun to read!
