This is a book by Ed Catmull who was, maybe still is, president of Pixar Animation and Disney Animation. Goes into his background of student in '60's & into '70s getting his Phd and the very early stages of computer animation. How this company was owned by John Lucas around Star Wars time and then sold to Steve Jobs and the found of Pixar and then eventually being sold to Disney but still running a separate operation. Pixar is still kicking out very good animation movies. Lots of positive and interesting ways on how a creative business should be run. Interesting read and kind of fun to see some of the background stuff on the movies we watched when kids were younger. Kids older now so not seeing as much animated movies.
There are I think 22 WL on PBS for the book so I will get it posted & mailed off at some point. Have enough others right now so will let it sit for a little while yet.
