[@500werewolf]

So... in making DreamWorks to get back at Disney, he ended up saving Pixar which ended up helping Disney... Now that's truely ironic. XD

[@Saberspark]

Again, my theory doesn't have the strongest foundation but the drama between Eiser and Katzenberg was the start of Eisner's decline as a CEO. He was pretty good the first few years but then things got ugly at the end

[@surprisedwoody1025]

Saberspark I also recall that Eisner desperately bought the Muppets from the Jim Henson Company to keep his job. Didn't work.

Jared Escoto Lucas broke from the norm of a complacent music industry and used his independence to invest in new tech to enhance the movie going experience. The tech would’ve come along eventually, yes, but Lucas’ investment sped it up by a decade or so. He did revolutionise cinema.

[@dantefenix404]

@@thejfoshow1320 If you remember well, Star Trek series brought the same idea and the same VFX tecnhology just right in the 1966, Lucas knew before no one in Hollywood the potential of that kind of concept.

I had spent my entire childhood growing up on Pixar ever since first watching _Toy Story_ on VHS, and so during my teenage years (age 13-18), 2006-2011 was a crazy period of Pixar for me in cinema (my *"Pixar Era"* as I call it), having seen _Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3,_ and _Cars 2_ in cinema. All of them were great to see with my Pops at that time. We both *_loved_*_ WALL-E, Up_ and _Toy Story 3_ when we first saw them. I'll never forget those times.

[@V-Oblivion]

Not to mention Lasseter is friends with Hayao Miyasaki, one of (if not the most) influential anime director in Japan, but also famous for been hard to please, yet he is buddy-buddy with him. If that doesn't show how much of a artist he is, I don't know what does.

I loved Toy Story as a kid, but I kinda love and loved 2d animation a lot more. 3d animation definitely inspires me for certain things. Like I feel something that inspires me in my art is how certain -ok whatever, I’m rambling. P.S. Gendy tartakovsky is cool, and he kinda inspires me a little.

I still remember my very first time watching _Toy Story_ on the VHS when I was at least like 4/5/6 yrs old, and it was amazing to watch, and it was my first Pixar movie. I've seen _Toy Story 2_ and _3_ in cinemas, too. But I think my #1 all-time personal favorite Pixar movie possibly has to be _WALL-E,_ it was (and still is ten yrs later) an amazing sci-fi about a child-like robot falling in love, I'll still love that movie even in death. But yea, Pixar has had a very successful track record, and am now excited for the upcoming _Incredibles 2,_ took their damn time! ;D

[@kylgrv]

That was a very informative history on one of my favorite animation companies. God bless the people at Pixar for their movies like "Toy Story," and for helping Disney get back on track.

Please remember that the rise of Pixar did leave behind some casualties. Because of Pixar's success, everyone thought that 2D wasn't the way to go anymore. That's why Hotel Transylvania is CGI instead of Gennedy's usual work, which is 2D Animation. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's theatrical film may as well be a last hurrah of pure irony.

[@v4verbatim]

I'm in high school and I spend a lot of my time writing scripts (unformatted, but scripts nonetheless) for multiple different shows, and one movie. Pixar was one of the most inspiring studios in my life, and they continue to inspire me to this day. Thank you for making this video, because it is an accurate representation of the legacy that Pixar has left, reminding those who watch this video exactly how amazing, good-natured, and determined the animators and writers at Pixar were and still are. As well as the struggles that they faced to maintain their integrity and continue to push the boundaries of computer animation. It was a really great video, and you have a new subscriber because of it.

It's funny that this studio has been there my entire life for me, starting with Toy Story I've watched every single film (except the Plane movies) and just . . .

With Disney I watched the tapes a million times but they were one of the first I watched their dvds a million times I really hope we get some Pixar worlds in Kingdom Hearts III

[@Finchfries]

[@YoMamaBih]

Yall need to chill on that Cars 2 shade. That wasn't even a bad movie; it just focused more on a side character. We've seen that many times before in media, including Finding Dory.

[@williamronch]

MarioSinglePlayer I think people mostly dislike it because it's very flawed, not because it's focused on a sidekick.

[@LaunaTheThird]

It wasn't a horrible movie, but definitely didn't do any of the characters justice. Focusing on a sidekick was not the problem, rather just the poor quality. I think it could have been done a lot better.

[@nortonhatfield7312]

Pixar used to have the best animated movies until cars 2.

[@ukrainianamerican79years72]

Thank you!

[@craycraywolf6726]

We don't mind side-kicks. In fact they are often our favorite characters! It was the writing of the movie that was an issue. Yes it had potential, with the international racing idea, but in the end they struggled with the writing. Like the whole Mater 'Japanese toilet' scene...utter trash. The humor was not well written. I honestly think it was the whole agent thing that threw them off. Plus they deviated too much from Cars' original theme. They went too dark and . I personally don't mind dark themes and Pixar certainly does it well, but that's not what Cars is. But everyone has their mistakes to learn from and Cars 2 was Pixar's. Oh wait never mind. Planes was another mistake lol 😂 Pixar came through and are again creating high-quality films.

[@podunkuu]

[@yoda908]

[@TraustiGeir]

Wow, this video was about to put tears in my eyes towards the end. This is yet another example of the never-ending battle of art vs. business, which doesn't really have to be a battle at all. The rise of such a beloved studio is an amazing story to tell, with pitfalls and quicksands at every wrong turn which makes it so exciting to watch and listen to. Thank you for making this, Saberspark. I had no idea how close Pixar was to oblivion so many times, I appreciate it even more now.

[@airbornemusician2999]

This is an amazing documentary. You produce some really amazing content. It would be pretty cool if you did an analysis of Cars 2 explaining why it's bad. It's like the Nickelback of Pixar films. I agree that it's bad, but I just love how you explain things.

[@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster]

That scene with Woody and Micky Mouse fighting was funny

[@Samkoolkid14]

Great video! Looking forward to the next one :)

[@thejedisonic67]

A great analysis on Pixar. It reminds me of how Naughty Dog came to be a legendary developer. To put it briefly, Naughty Dog also had a rough financial start, but through Universal Studios they could work on a new project. This new ambitious project would eventually became known as Crash Bandicoot. With many technological advancements to have supperb animation on top of solid gameplay, Naughty Dog created a successful hit while taking a big risk. Later on, after creating the other two games from their contract with Universal, they were able to create Crash Team Racing, and that game was distributed as a suprise fourth and final Crash Bandicoot game that was developed by Naughty Dog. Later on, ND worked with Sony to produce another hit franchise for the PS2, Jak and Daxter. Their trend of hit games would eventually go to Uncharted and The Last of Us. I would go into great detail, but I'm trying to keep things simple for now. Naughty Dog now represents to gaming what Pixar is to animation. Even if the company hasn't produced as much different stories, ND has certainly made a mark, and helped make Sony Computer Entertainment into what it is today, which has games that still rival Nintendo.
