THE PIXAR STORY

ROLLS OUT NATIONWIDE ON OCTOBER 23, 2007
FROM ACADEMY AWARD(R) NOMINATED FILMMAKER LESLIE IWERKS

On October 23, 2007, The Pixar Story began a national theatrical rollout that will include screenings in 14 major markets across the United States. (You have got to see this folks, Leslie was nice enough to do a sneak peak screening throough ASIFA at last year`s Comic Con and it was killer)

Filmmaker Leslie Iwerks has documented the ongoing events at Pixar on and off since 2001. In a relatively short period of time, Pixar went from a bootstrap enterprise run by some pretty daring risk takers to a multi-billion dollar corporation that sets the standard for an entire industry

A companion book to The Pixar Story titled To Infinity and Beyond -The Story of Pixar Animation Studios, by Karen Paik, is based on interviews and research by Iwerks, and is scheduled for release by Chronicle Books in Fall 2007.
