Leo Holzer, as you may remember is a guest writer overt at Jim Hill Media, writes about Leslie Iwerks’ newest documentary, The Pixar Story which airs tonight at 10pm after Cars on Starz!.
Holzer on 'The Pixar Story'
He discusses The Pixar Story‘s potential to make millions at the box office if Disney had have given it a theatrical run it deserved, and how he thinks it should most definitely be released on DVD to sit alongside your other Pixar DVD’s in its rightful place.
Have a read before or after you watch it tonight if you have access to this channel. Leo suggests recording it on your TiVo or DVR, and if you don’t have the channel, find someone that does and get them to record it and lend it to you! I can assure you now that thousands of people around the world would be extremely grateful if a copy made its way onto the internet for us non-US citizens to view, just because the possibility of it reaching DVD still seems to be up in the air.
Thanks Leo.

I’d love it if this was posted online somewhere! Only because there doesn’t seem to be a DVD release in the near future.
I was priviledged enough to see a theatrical run of “The Pixar Story” at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara (during the Santa Barbara Film Festival) on February 2nd, 2008. It only aired on that date during the festival, I believe, but I will say right now that it definitely deserves a DVD release for its content alone. I certainly wouldn’t mind placing it next to my copy of the “Pixar Short Films Collection” DVD on my family’s bookcase….
Before the screening/show, Leslie Iwerks put in a foreword, mentioning along the way that it would air on television (as is apparent) and would, I think, be released on DVD some time this summer. So, hopefully, you all should be able to add another masterpiece to your collection of Pixar-related films.
