这部花费6年时间制作而成的纪录片,聚焦了动画业巨头皮克斯的发展史。片中主要采取的是面对面采访的形式,还穿插了皮克斯创作的一些顽皮形象的短片,其中更包括拉塞特获得学生奥斯卡奖的短片作品。众多被访问者——从汤姆·汉克斯、蒂姆·艾伦、比利·克里斯托到乔治·卢卡斯以及众位皮克斯的动画制作人——都尽可能详尽地解释了每部影片要达到特定艺术效果所需的技术条件。A look at the first years of Pixar Animation Studios - from the success of "Toy Story" and Pixar's promotion of talented people, to the building of its East Bay campus, the company's relationship with Disney, and its remarkable initial string of eight hits. The contributions of John Lasseter, Ed Catmull and Steve Jobs are profiled. The decline of two-dimensional animation is chronicled as three-dimensional animation rises. Hard work and creativity seem to share the screen in equal proportions.
