I watched the Pixar story movie and learned a lot about Jobs, Lasseter and Pixar. Lasseter is definitely the visionary behind Pixar, financially so is Jobs. He bought them from Lucas in '86. Toy Story wasn't released until '95. That means for 9 years, not only was he not making money, he had to write personal checks to pump in money every year just to keep the company afloat.
The man deserves every bit of credit he gets for Pixar.
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoThe Pixar company originally sold hardware and then software, before it became all about animation. Even on the animation side it was doing adverts to bring in money. So it wasn't a charity project with the aim of creating great art, it was just an unsuccessful technology business until the Disney deal.
