Looking for any good books, podcasts and documentaries about Pixar. How they got started, who were the people behind it and how did they become the force they are today in film.

THE PIXAR TOUCH


Great paradigm-shifting narratives — entrepreneurs seeing clarity where others saw only fog — often have a feeling of manifest destiny about them. What’s striking about David A. Price’s history of Pixar, the computer animation studio behind “Toy Story,” “The Incredibles” and other movies, is how provisional it all seemed in the moment, how key players at important junctures didn’t really understand what they were doing even as they were doing it. But they kept working because of a sixth sense that something would eventually happen.


The Making of a Company.

By David A. Price.

Illustrated. 308 pp. Alfred A. Knopf. $27.95.
