Executive Summary: Inspiration
In 1974, a cast of
wild-eyed dreamers gathered at the New York Institute of Technology, with the
aim to replace hand-drawn imagery with computer animation. Over the course of
the late 1970s the team was acquired by Lucas Films. In 1986, Lucas Films sold
the group to a young Steve Jobs, and Pixar, Inc. was founded. In 1996, Pixar delivered
Toy Story to a stunned and amazed
public, erupting a revolution in computer-generated imagery (CGI) that
leap-frogged generations of craft cultivated by the likes of Disney Animation
Studios. This revolution is still alive today, delighting a new generation of
audiences, and wending its way into myriad business and entertainment uses. In
2006, Disney bought Pixar for $7.4 billion.
