"This is the first computer-generated animation in history. Pixar shows us a feature animation different from the traditional hand-painted one. I believe this will be another milestone in the history of animation." ----Los Angeles Times
"this is a story about your toy that actually has life. It sounds ordinary, but it will be another revolution in animation industry since Snow White was born 40 years ago!" ----The new Yorker
"it's a moving comedy for ordinary people, but it's clear to those who have a good sense of smell. It's also the biggest leap in animation since Disney showed snow white -- variety show is almost one-sided and praises toy story. Whether it is story or art or technology, it has given full affirmation, which is almost a few things. Although "mission impossible" has also won a lot of praise, it is basically a good story. Everyone knows that the target of this film is the market, so no one will explore the connotation. Even if it is Forrest Gump, the story and art are excellent works, but no one says anything technically.
It seems inappropriate to compare live action movies with animated movies, but it also shows how shocking toy story, a digital 3D animation made entirely by computers, has shocked people.
"Everyone played with toys when they were children, dolls, dolls, American soldiers in Green s è, etc. if one day they had life, they would get up and play when you left. What kind of story would happen if they took it as their mission to please you and accompany you? Pixar's toy story tells such a story.
Cowboy HOUDY is the owner's favorite toy and the head of all the toys. Whenever the owner is away, they will enjoy themselves. But what scares all toys most is that new toys are added, because it means that other toys will fall out of favor or even be abandoned. Even HOUDY, the favorite cowboy of the little owner, began to face such a crisis after the arrival of the space toy bath light year. So Hudi qianfang Baiji tried to drive buss away. One accidentally, they both fell into the neighbor's yard. The neighbor's child was a toy abuser, and all the toys fell into his hands and would be torn apart. Hudi and Bass wanted to avoid him Then we have to cooperate with each other.
It's just a simple introduction. More Jingcai can only be realized after watching the movie. Pixar has created a lot of lifelike horns s è, timid dinosaurs, funny spring dogs, nagging Mr. twist. He doesn't want to lose his position, but he can understand where the mistakes are. Hudi, who always thought he was a space fighter, finally woke up In this animated film, there is no sense of stereotype. If you want to watch movies with the whole family, toy story is definitely the first choice.
Congratulations to Pixar. They have opened an era. "
"Empire" Scott Hoffman
Yes, Pixar ushered in an era in which the praise of "the biggest leap in animation" was not well received. Many film critics also declared that "I can't imagine a movie that is more interesting than Toy Story" and "toy story is the most creative comedy film of the year" or "Pi" "Keats' creativity is amazing" and so on.
God knows that just a few years ago, they were all hopeless about computer animation. Even though Pixar's short film won a lot of praise, some people still ridiculed them as the ugly duckling of Silicon Valley. When jobs sold it to Adrian, many people still thought that it was the wisest thing jobs had done since he left apple. Even a few weeks ago, when people at the audition unanimously praised the film, some thought it was over the top.
Now "Toy Story" has landed in North American Theaters and swept the box office, which is no less than slapping them in the face. However, how can critics take this slap in their heart? They often have to be cheeky when they do this business. If they make a wrong judgment, they will judge it. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Who is not wrong? What's more, most people are wrong now.
Even though the words in the movie "MV" and "shepherd's mouth" were not able to cover up all the good words in the movie, they couldn't even find a way to hide the good words in the movie.
In short, Pixar, the ugly duckling of Silicon Valley, has completely turned over this time.
"I think I don't have to say anything more. Congratulations, congratulations All of us! " Standing in the Pixar conference room, which had been cleaned up and then rearranged, John raster, holding the cup, said that at last his voice became choked, and his eyes behind his spectacles began to shine. Fortunately, he quickly raised the cup, and then clapped with applause. Every face of Pixar was radiant with excitement.
"John seems a little over excited." Adrian from ed Carmel said, clapping his hands.
"It's not surprising. Think about our efforts," Carmel shrugged. "I'm the same.""Then why did you refuse to give a speech before?" Adrian immediately asked.
"Didn't you decline, ed?" The person in charge of Pixar then asked him with a smile:
"I'm not the same. I just provided funds and distribution. Without your persistence, there would be no Pixar now." Adrian waved. "I'm not as qualified as Steve to give a speech."
"You are so modest. Everyone knows that without your funds, our studio may have been closed; without your distribution and publicity, toy story would not have had such a warm response." Carmel shook his head.
"But you also have to admit that if it wasn't for Steve's seven consecutive years of loss free support, wouldn't Pixar have been able to make the best of it?" Adrian said with a smile.
"It's true - John is the chief director, and I'm more in charge of the overall planning. I'm responsible for the success of the studio, but with the success of the film, his credit is the biggest." Carmel changed the subject, so he didn't change the subject immediately
"Come on, you just want to be lazy, ed Raster came from the side with a sarcastic voice, but immediately became depressed: "sorry, I didn't mean you, ed
Adrian and camerlton both laughed.
"What's your work plan lately, John?" Adrian suddenly asked, after a second chat with John raster and then Andrew Stanton.
"Not yet. Do you have any good ideas?" Raster's heart slightly moved. How could they not know Adrian's fame in the entertainment industry? However, what disappointed him was that the other party didn't make any special representations.
"Take a rest then," Adrian said with a smile. "Pixar has been an unprecedented success, traveling with his family or bringing limited edition toys to the kids - you know, these toys are not good now."
After hearing this sentence, several people around him who laughed again felt elated. It's hard to describe the popularity of toy story in terms of box office and word-of-mouth. Adrian had already contacted toy manufacturers and began to produce and put it on the market after it was released, but in the end, demand still fell short of demand. Although this is good, Claude has reservations. It does not matter that many orders are placed, but it also shows the popularity of the film.
"You don't have to worry, ed. they had their own set long before the toys came on the market, and they had already calculated it." Carmel pointed to laster and Stanton and laughed.
"It's a pity that I've prepared a few sets to see if anyone doesn't have them." Adrian said as if nothing happened.
"I didn't, ed!" Stanton immediately raised his hand and burst into laughter.
"In a word, after a few weeks of adjustment, we will discuss the next development. I believe you should also have a blueprint for the future." Adrian then said that again.
"Yes." Raster's eyes lit up again.
"By the way, ED, fortune and the Hollywood report would like to invite us to give an exclusive interview about this film and the technology of computer animation, and so on. I think you may be interested in participating." Said Carmel.
"Forget it," Adrian said after thinking about it. "I just understand computer animation technology. You people who develop and use it are the most clear. Again, I may have some insight into film, but who can understand better than John and Andrew? So it's up to you to give an interview. "
He's not Steve jobs. Jobs needs to take these accomplishments to himself and build his momentum to return to apple, but he doesn't need to. Therefore, it is not a bad thing to sell the favor to Carmel. Since taking over, apart from the most basic concerns, most of the business has been handled by Carmel. It is also good to keep it.
Compared to Pixar's exultation and elation, Dinis had a sense of being a teacher and a criminal.
"To put it simply, you think I have to take responsibility for giving up Pixar - and without reservation - is that right, Mr. Craven?" Michael Eisner, sitting at the head of the long table in the conference room, looked at Geoffrey Craven in the third position on the right, in a slow voice.
Although he looked calm and no different from his usual appearance, people familiar with him knew that the strong man was angry, so even if he had talked at the meeting before and criticized him, he could not help swallowing his mouth after listening to Eisner.
But it was only a few seconds, and he immediately continued to say out loud: "there is no doubt that Disney's animation department has fallen to what extent!"
"Last year we made the best 2D animation, the lion king." Someone on the opposite side said.
"Yes, but what? Now the animation department is almost the most leisure department, m é n, "retorted craven." it's not Coles. They wanted to. There have been several project proposals that have been rejected before, and they were rejected by Mike himself. "Here he turned his head and looked at Eisner: "I know you have your consideration, Mike. I also know that the development of the company today does not rely on the animation department alone. But don't you think you seem to have forgotten something?"
"That's right," another director also said along with Craven's words, "Disney started with animation. For a long time, we were at the top of the animation industry in the United States. No matter how many s è animation corners Warner launched, s è can not replace us, but now our most proud thing is dying, although they have made the best 2D Animation. "
"Lack of funds, lack of support, and increasingly marginalized, that's where the animation department is now." "I know you're a great s è, Mike. Without you, there would be no Disney today, but you're too dictatorial in some ways. We had a good chance to continue to maintain our advantages. Cox suggested more than once to maintain the cooperation with Pixar, but it was only an investment of Wan. At best, it was an investment in a small film. But you gave up because of Adrian Cowell's words. "
Here, craven raised his hands and did not speak again, but the meaning could not be more obvious.
"No one really thought Pixar could be so successful. I think anyone who faced that situation at that time would have made the same decision." Said one of the directors on Eisner's side.
"At least our current opponent, Adrian Cowell, has that vision." 'said Craven, not unkindly.
"That is to say, his eyes are beyond his reach?" A neutral director said playfully.
Craven was stunned and immediately responded. This sentence means that Michael Eisner is not as good as a young man. If Eisner usually just laughs, it is hard to say what reaction he will have now. The guy who talks is obviously provoking. However, craven soon put it behind him. Anyway, he has completely offended Eisner. It doesn't matter to add more.
"In any case, I think we should give the board a representative." He spread out his hand, made a gesture of "you can do it", then closed his mouth and stopped talking.
The meeting room was quiet. Everyone turned their eyes to the chairman who was sitting at the top of the board. Eisner, who still had no expression, finally opened his mouth again: "I remember that the theme of the meeting was to discuss at the beginning, how to further comprehensively launch the acquisition of ABC. Why has it become a question about this small question?"
Before Craven could speak, he immediately went on: "indeed, everyone knows that Adrian Cowell has a unique vision, so we are here to discuss how to complete the acquisition as soon as possible, and why we have somehow turned to other issues."
"I'm just driving my rights." Craven immediately said, but after nearly a decade of Eisner's accumulated strength, it didn't sound so solid.
"Is it? So it's time for me to resign as chairman of the board of directors? " Eisner finally gave a sneer.
Crayfish's face suddenly became ugly. Of course, he had this idea. Otherwise, why did he plan to pick out the problem at this time? But how could he say that now? In an instant, the meeting room was quiet, and the temperature dropped several degrees. Eisner was worthy of being an old fox. A simple sentence made everyone unable to speak.
After a long time like this, he stood up as if nothing had happened: "well, it seems that there is no matter today, so let's end the meeting."
They went out without looking back. The people in the meeting room were relieved. The familiar people talked to each other for a few words, and then the gods came out of the meeting room in different ways. Craven came to the end, tightening his tie and trying to be calm, though he had a bad feeling.
"Hey, Mike, I was just about to find you." As Eisner was about to return to his office, a familiar voice stopped him, and a smiling Michael owitz appeared in front of him.
"What's the matter? The meeting wasn't very smooth? " He was immediately aware of his difference.
"Let's just say what's going on." Eisner asked hard.
Owitzton frowned, but seeing that he was not in a good mood and did not ask questions, he immediately started to talk about his work: "about the acquisition of ABC and the TV station, I have an idea that needs your support. Maybe we can..."
"Just do as I say!" Eisner interrupted him rudely.
“……” A look of amazement flashed across owitz's face, and his brow grew deeper: "you haven't heard my description yet, Mike. Even if you have other opinions, at least you should..."
"I don't need to hear your description, Mike!" Eisner suddenly turned around and looked at him with cold eyes. "You just need to do what I say, you understand?"
Owitz looked at him in a daze and didn't understand what was going on. Although both of them were called Michael, it seemed funny to call each other "Mike". However, the people around him didn't dare to laugh. In fact, they had been hiding far away. It was better not to see the conflict between the chairman and CEO."Well, you are the chairman, you has the final say." After staring at each other for a long time, owitz finally chose to compromise, raised his hands and waved two times, and said in a listless mood.
Eisner did not speak any more, turned and strode to the end of the corridor, and soon disappeared in front of owitz. Owitz raised his hands, looked around the empty man, and snorted, half self mocking and half angry.
"If you just do what you say, what the hell do I have to do as CEO?"
