How about the documentary titled The Pixar Story? If you haven’t seen it yet, find it, and watch it as soon as you can (hint: look on select Wall\u2022E DVD\/Blu-Ray discs). The Pixar Story is a great doc about Pixar’s epic struggle to become what they are today. I think its safe to say that most folks probably think of Pixar as an overnight sensation that hit it big with their first feature film, Toy Story. That’s what I thought, too. I didn’t know how wrong I was until I saw this enlightening film about one of the most storied companies in our recent history. <\/p>\n
What strikes me most is the amount of passion, vision, and pure perseverant love the Pixar folks have for what they do. They aren’t going to a job every day. They are doing what they love. They believe they are doing something that is making a real difference in peoples lives. Its no wonder they have been so successful at making their films.<\/p>\n
“Pixar is seen by a lot of folks as an overnight success. But, if you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.”<\/p>\n
– Steve Jobs, Pixar\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Steve, no doubt, was a huge asset in the key moments of Pixar’s development. He spearheaded the IPO, giving pixar the real legs they needed to make it in the big time.<\/p>\n
“We learned the important thing is not the idea, the important thing is the people. It’s how they work together, who they are that matters more than anything else.”<\/p>\n
– Ed Catmull, Pixar\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Difficult to argue with that philosophy. It’s hard to imagine a company with this type of outlook not having bucketloads of culture and passion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
