Set your TiVos! Tonight, April 22, at 10-11:30pm, Starz will air “The Pixar Story.”
Marc Bernardin reports for Entertainment Weekly, “Here’s the problem with this doc, which charts the birth, near-death, and explosion of the multiple-Oscar-winning animation studio: It will make you realize that your job sucks. Because unless you work for John Lasseter at the MIT–meets–Romper Room HQ, hatching hits like Toy Story and Cars, then you have no idea how rewarding a job can be. The vibrant doc includes interviews with big names integral to Pixar’s success: Tom Hanks, George Lucas (who funded Pixar, then sold it), and Steve Jobs (who bought it and kept the faith).”
More info here.
I’ll be waiting for the torrent.
Coolness. I knew I had Starz for a reason. I guess I’ve paid around $150 or so to watch this…
Big whoop. Steve Ballmer is reported to be the lead investor in an animation studio too. I understand it will be called ‘Dixar’. Movies will cost less to produce than any of the tiresome crap Pixar has done because Dixar will use their awesome ability to partner with film distribution outlets and studios whereas Pixar forces you to watch their movies through Disney distribution only.
I can’t wait to see the Dixar Story with Steve Ballmer on Starz in 10 years. Put that in your namby-pamby calendar application (if you have one), MAC dorks.
Your potential. Our passion.™

It’s OK, I knew that already.
Can we please have some place cool to work in Louisiana??!?? I would love to work for a company like Pixar or Apple, but I really don’t want to move to Cali…actually my wife doesn’t want to live there. It’s too damn expensive and we’d rather take our chances with hurricanes than earthquakes. Come on Apple, quit piddling around with the perfect weather in CA and move to LA! We have great humidity and big mosquitoes!
“Dixar” LOL… I also heard Ballmer will be starring on a movie sequel. “pootie tang two” LOL
Google images of Pixar’s headquarters. It is like Romper Room and looks as hell!
I now officially hate my job. Thanks.
My first computer animated movie at Dixar will be about a people that loves to dance like monkeys that one day gets attacked by flying chairs that wants revenge for earlier misdeads towards them.
Someone needs to make a screen saver for OS X where instead of the Classic Flying toasters screen saver, we get flying chairs.
Now this is a good story. Steve did a great job putting the time and faith into this concept. Good job Steve.
You’ve got it all wrong, Zune Tang. Dixar will specialize in animated shorts of Steve Balmer having sexual relations with a wide variety of the latest electronic gadgets. Sounds riveting!
I tried to use a DVD from Dixar but it came in HD DVD and when I tried to watch the regular DVD it was not compatible with my DVD Player and I had to keep restarting.
Dixar!
LOL! Thanks Zuney.
Don’t you have anything better to do than post on a Mac News site? Typical Windows user-loser. Get a life…Use a Mac!

@ZT. I love it, nothing like a little subliminal reverse talk. Dixar ! Short for “dicks are us” (AKA microsloth… Ballmer et al) !
Anyone knows about a torrent of this ?
