Product Description
The Pixar Treasures is a scrapbook of instinct and inspiration, experiences readers can touch, and visions that exist only in the imagination. It begins with a group of animators who were inspired by Walt Disney films. In the late 1970s and early '80s, John Lasseter, Brad Bird, and Joe Ranft were hired into an apprenticeship program at Walt Disney Productions. The last of Disney’s golden age artists, including animators Eric Larson, Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, and Ollie Johnston mentored the young dreamers, and as Pixar later developed, their work would draw heavily from this direct connection with Walt Disney’s “Nine Old Men.” The tale continues with Pixar's foray into computer animation, and the resulting success of Toy Story. With chapters on A Bug's Life; Monsters, Inc.; Finding Nemo; The Incredibles; Cars; Ratatouille; and WALL*E, Hauser's narrative covers the struggles, growth, and successes of an incredible animation studio. And it gives readers a sneak peak at the newest Disney*Pixar film, Up. Filled with unique removable keepsakes, The Pixar Treasures is an essential collector’s item for every Pixar fan.

Pixarpedia A complete guide to the World of Pixar...and beyond
Pixarpedia I did not know what to expect but I knew that DK books are written very well and this is no exception. It is hard to believe that Toy Story 3 will be in the theater next year. I still remember when the first Toy Story came out and was surprised to see the graphics and the good story that went with it.
This book is not about the process of making the films but instead shows the many different characters in each movie. My son Stephen pointed out that in the movie Cars, Doc Hudson license plate was HH51MD which means Hudson Hawk 1951 and Medical Doctor.
What makes Pixar movies great is the story that goes along with the animation. You can have the best animation in the world but if the story is not appealing no one will watch it.
Pixarpedia gives us a complete listing and description of the movies. I am sure both children and adults will enjoy this coffee table book. I am sure looking at the book will make you bring your favorite Pixar movies
