The Pixar Touch is a lively chronicle of Pixar Animation Studios' history and evolution, and the "fraternity of geeks" who shaped it. With the help of animating genius John Lasseter and visionary businessman Steve Jobs, Pixar has become the gold standard of animated filmmaking, beginning with a short special effects shot made at Lucasfilm in 1982 all the way up through the landmark films Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, and others. David A. Price goes behind the scenes of the corporate feuds between Lasseter and his former champion, Jeffrey Katzenberg, as well as between Jobs and Michael Eisner. And finally he explores Pixar's complex relationship with the Walt Disney Company as it transformed itself into the $7.4 billion jewel in the Disney crown.From the Trade Paperback edition.

I loved Reading about the making of these movies we all watched and enjoyed - the creation of Toy Story, the law suit that almost kept Monsters, Inc. from being released, the struggle that it was to align passion and Money and Mr. Jobs difficult personality. I just didn't love it more because the technical aspects were described somewhat at lenght, and my mind started wondering. Even then, I think David Price did a great job.
