Review ------ "Thumbs-up. . . . Full of fascinating characters, all struggling-in classic Pixar film style-to overcome seemingly impossible odds." --BusinessWeek "You don't have to belong to the computer-animation generation to enjoy The Pixar Touch. . . . An entertaining look at digital derring-do." --The Dallas Morning News "Price, a tough, unsentimental reporter, ferrets out lots of backstage drama from fresh sources, weaving a commendably unvarnished history." --Entertainment Weekly "Unprecedented detail about the notoriously press-shy company's workings, a story that abounds with lessons for business people and creative artists alike." --The Wall Street Journal "Inspiring.... Price is a smart reporter and a solid writer. He deftly makes computer arcana palatable, even interesting." --The New York Times Book Review "It's quite a story, and David Price has finally got it right, it's details and the players. This is the definitive history of Pixar." --Alvy Ray Smith, co-founder of Pixar "[A] brisk history of an entertainment juggernaut that is also the history of computer animation...a heck of a yarn, full of vivid characters, reversals of fortune and stubborn determination: Pixar should make a movie out of it." --Kirkus Reviews (starred) "A tale of our times, and David Price tells it with page-turning drama, total veracity, and wonderful wit." --Mark Cotta Vaz, author, of The Art of Finding Nemo, The Art of The Incredibles and Living Dangerously: The Adventures of Merian C.
