To Infinity and Beyond!

The Story of Pixar Animation Studios

Karen Paik and Leslie Iwerks

foreword by John Lasseter, Steve Jobs and
Ed Catmull

Chronicling the 20-year history of Pixar Animation Studios, this gorgeously illustrated volume is the definitive book about the creators of smash hits Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles.

In 1986, visionaries John Lasseter, Ed Catmull and Steve Jobs combined their respective abilities in animation, computer graphics and entrepreneurship to create the first feature-length computer animated film. Toy Story single-handedly changed animation forever. Seven groundbreaking, record-setting movies later, the Pixar team celebrates with this full-colour compendium.

Written from the inside out, To Infinity and Beyond! brings to life Pixar’s one-of-a-kind corporate culture and its quirky personalities in extensive interviews, some never before published, with all the key players. Over 500 images include exquisite storyboard sketches, concept art and photographs, some never before seen. A chapter on Cars is also included.

To Infinity and Beyond! is a business book, a guide for future animators and the art book of the season. A custom edition serves as catalogue for the October 2005 New York MOMA exhibition on Pixar.

PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS has created eight animated films, including the Academy Award-winning Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., Golden Globe-winner Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life and Finding Nemo.
