To Pixar and beyond : my unlikely journey with Steve Jobs to make entertainment history
Levy, Lawrence (Lawrence B.)2017
Books
In November 1994, Lawrence Levy received a phone call out of the blue from Steve Jobs, whom he'd never met, offering him a job running Pixar, a little-known company that had already lost Jobs $50 million. With Pixar's prospects looking bleak, it was with some trepidation that Levy accepted the position. After a few weeks he discovered that the situation was even worse than he'd imagined. Pixar's advertising division just about broke even, its graphics software had few customers, its short films didn't make any money and, on top of all that, Jobs was pushing to take the company public. Everything was riding on the studio's first feature film, codenamed 'Toy Story,' and it would have to be one of the most successful animated features of all time. Full of wisdom on bringing business and creativity together, this book is an insider's account of one of Hollywood's greatest success stories.
