What is generally considered to be the ‘best’ documentary on Pixar? One that covers their history in depth?
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
I don’t know if this is considered the best one, but I love The Pixar Story! It’s a really good history, and it’s so inspiring 
Thank you! 
Is it available on DVD or Blu-ray?
I think so! I know I’ve seen it on TV before, but it was also released with the Wall-E DVD according to Google. I’m not sure if it was ever released alone, though.
Thanks, that’s strange - I have WALL-E on blu-ray (Region B) and on the back of the box it mentions The Pixar Story as being part of the DVD features (which are apparently on the second Blu-ray disc), yet I can’t find those features. Weird …
The Pixar Story is the only documentary that I know they’ve released, and it should be included on the second Wall-E disk. I remember getting it with my delux dvd set - or whatever it’s called. Not the single dvd, but not the blu-ray either.
But if you’re interested in something to read, The Pixar Touch by David Price is a good read, although it does take a while to get into things. For a “lighter” version, something that’s pratically equal to The Pixar Story’s book version, look up To Infinity and Beyond: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios. That was the first book I got about Pixar, and although it’s huge and text book like, there’s a ton of pictures, and it does a good job of scratching the surface. I like The Pixar Touch better though - content wise- because it goes way indepth on topics.
Excellent, many thanks. How up-to-date are both books?
Wish I could find the The Pixar Story on my WALL-E Blu-ray discs.
If you have Netflix, The Pixar Story is available to watch instantly.
No Netflix here I’m afraid, i’m in the UK. Thanks for the suggestion though.
That’s too bad. 
I second TWCS’ recommendation of The Pixar Touch. Sure, it’s not a movie, but it really does give a great insight on the formation and heyday of Pixar, and it’s really engaging. If you have a shorter attention span to read a book (like me!), get it on audiobook from Audible. That’s how I “read” it and I absolutely loved it.
Irongiant: Both go right up to the Disney acquisition of Pixar right after Cars is released.
Although, I really wish there were more on after that, but I assume in the future there will be more content released.
Thanks very much - sounds like the author should issue a revised edition to bring it up to date.
I have The Pixar Touch and it’s a revised issue that goes up to WALL-E . I got it from Amazon (UK) a few months back for about £10, so it’s a little pricey but I too really recommend it. David A Price has also done a blog that continues from where the book left off aswell.

As for documentaries, The Pixar Story on the 2-disc WALL-E DVD is the obvious one, but you know that BBC3 did an hour show called Pixar: 25 Magic Moments? I’ve seen it twice now, and they showed it during Christmas/New Year when BBC had like a Pixar season (I saw WALL-E, Finding Nemo, Cars and The Incredibles on the schedule at least, so I assume that was what they were doing.). If you have a look online, you might get lucky, but I’m not one to give out links to sites . It was quite interesting, although I knew pretty much everything it covered in fairness. 
Some great info there, thanks!
Jealoussss
I’ve got to get my hands on that copy.
Although, it probably wouldn’t do good to update just every few years, would it? xP
Just ordered my copy which has a print date of 2009, so am HOPING that it also goes up to WALL-E.
I’d recommend The Pixar Story, which can be found on the Special Edition of WALL-E. There’s a lot of detail about their history and movies.
