sbsenpai 's review for:
The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company
by David A. Price
For the past week, I’ve been watching all the Pixar movies in release order in preparation for their new movie Soul later this month.
Because of that, I decided to check this out as a similar way I’ve done the history of the Disney company.
I will say that this book is well written as it tracks Pixar’s history from its creation up to Ratatouille.
The first four chapters are a bit of a slog to get through since it’s mostly just on the technical and innovative side of computer animation, and after that it takes off in showing the studio politics of each movie as well as the love/hate relationship Steve Jobs had with Disney. Not as many big revelations in this like compared to Disney War, but still a good read that desperately needs an update either by the same writer or or from someone else.
