You're doing a great job at handling the technical aspects of Pixar's growth in an entertaining article format too. After reading the latest update, I'd be curious to hear how other CGI (yes, I know... that's not a correct term) shorts such as ILM's Andre and Wally B play into what Pixar did.

Originally Posted By Santa Monica Great article. I read an article about their software in the LA Times. That was interesting too. Pretty much anything PIXAR is a good read. Did they say anything about their next movies, like Finding Nemo, Invincibles, Route 66? A monsters, inc sequel? Oh and Doobie, you may want to fix the topic heading. It has the same date as the previous Lasseter update. It should read "Jan 18 Fab Column"

Originally Posted By jonvn Persistence of Vision is pretty much gone. Web page is still there, but I don't think there's been an issue for a long time. It's interesting about all this. There are rumblings that Pixar might want to break away from Disney for future releases. But it sounds like Lasseter wants to work for Disney, and is the driving force behind what is being done creatively at Pixar. I think if Pixar does break away, and Lasseter goes to Disney, Pixar will not really be much of anything anymore, and Disney will still have the major talent under its wings.
Originally Posted By WRabbit I read your column and then went to the Pixar site to look at the "For the Birds" sneak peak. I had my 8 month old daughter sitting with me at the computer and she was absolutely delighted with it. She loved the squeak toy noises of the birds. I had already seen the whole thing in the theater with Monsters Inc. and did not think they had it on the Pixar site yet. It was a pleasant surprise.
