The Pixar Touch 生动记录了 Pixar Animation Studios 的发展历史与演进轨迹，以及塑造这家公司的“极客群体”。在动画天才 John Lasseter 与商界远见家 Steve Jobs 的合力推动下，皮克斯已成为动画电影制作的行业标杆，从1982年在 Lucasfilm 制作的一段简短特效镜头起步，一路打造出 Toy Story、Finding Nemo、Wall-E 等多部划时代佳作。David A. Price 深入幕后，揭秘了 Lasseter 与其昔日伯乐 Jeffrey Katzenberg 之间，以及 Jobs 与 Michael Eisner 之间的商业内讧

要是有人感兴趣的话，David Price 写的《The Pixar Touch》对这家公司的早期历史（无论从商业还是技术角度）都做了极其精彩的梳理。http://www.amazon.com/Pixar-Touch-Vintage-David-Price/dp/030...
If anyone is interested, The Pixar Touch by David Price is a pretty fantastic look at the early history (both from a business standpoint and from a technological standpoint) of the company. http://www.amazon.com/Pixar-Touch-Vintage-David-Price/dp/030...
对，如果你读过《The Pixar Touch》，就能很清楚地了解乔布斯当年想靠皮克斯实现什么（重点是把硬件卖给消费者）。他最大的贡献就是砸钱。我觉得直到《玩具总动员》之后，他才真正“懂了”……
Yeah, if you read "The Pixar Touch" you get a good picture of what Jobs hoped to achieve with Pixar (focusing on selling the hardware to consumers). His main contribution was money. I think it was only after Toy Story did he truly "get"…
《Pixar Touch》[1] 太棒了。强烈推荐。另外，2007年关于皮克斯的纪录片（《The Pixar Story》[2]）也非常值得一看——拍得极好。还有部比较短的、23分钟的皮克斯微纪录片……
"Pixar Touch"[1] is fantastic. Highly recommended. Also, the 2007 documentary about Pixar ("The Pixar Story"[2]) is well worth a watch - Extremely well done. There's a shorter, 23 minute mini-documantary about Pixar…
……公司的运作方式和理念。Keith Ferrazzi 写的《Never Eat Alone》，讲的是人脉拓展和建立关系的重要性。《Trade-Off, Why Some Things Catch On, and Others Don't》。《The Pixar Touch》，非常棒的皮克斯发展史，讲他们是怎么起步的。泰德·特纳的自传《Call me Ted》。吉姆·柯林斯的《How the Mighty Fall》。
…workings of the company and the philosophy. "Never Eat Alone" by Keith Ferrazzi on the importance of networking and building relationships. "Trade-Off, Why Some Things Catch On, and Others Don't" "The Pixar Touch" Great history of Pixar and how they came about. "Call me Ted" - Ted Turner's autobiography "How the Mighty Fall" Jim Collins
《The Pixar Story》有点问题——基本把 Alvy Ray Smith 给删掉了，而且把过多不该归于乔布斯的功劳都算在了他头上。要客观了解这家公司，我建议读读《The Pixar Touch》。顺便提一句，我认识 Alvy 是因为这些年总在西雅图各处的早餐馆偶遇他（他现在搬去伯克利了）。如果你有机会听听……
The Pixar Story has some issues with it--largely cuts out Alvy Ray Smith and gives a lot more credit to Steve Jobs than deserved. I'd recommend reading The Pixar Touch for a balanced portrayal of the company. For what it's worth, I got to know Alvy by running into him at various Seattle breakfast spots over the years (he's in Berkeley now). If you ever get to hear…
《The Pixar Touch》（http://www.amazon.com/The-Pixar-Touch-ebook/dp/B0010SKT0M/）是一本讲 Catmull 和皮克斯的好书。
The Pixar Touch (http://www.amazon.com/The-Pixar-Touch-ebook/dp/B0010SKT0M/) is a great book about Catmull and Pixar.
