The Pixar Touch

This is a book review of David Price's "The Pixar Touch". The review is quite informative in including some of the important milestone in Pixar's history, including a few jaw-dropping moments. For example, would Jeffery Katzenberg admit to actually saying something like this regarding the possibility of acquiring Pixar for Disney?

Kinsey wanted Disney to buy Pixar outright for $15 million, but he was overruled by Jeffrey Katzenberg, then head of Walt Disney Studios. “I can’t waste my time on this stuff,” Kinsey says Katzenberg told him.


Why, Katzenberg could probably be listed on the same Executive Wall of Shame as the many studio executives who rejected Lucas's "Star Wars" before he found 20th Century Fox.

Sounds like this might be a fun book to read.

Zz.
