I want to learn more about how Pixar started and who the people are behind the company, any good books?

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.
Tip for best answer: M$4.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

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.
