Hillary renderman7/14/2023 You will know the films even if you don’t recognise the studio name. To Pixar and Beyond, Levy’s memoir of his time heading the most dazzling entertainment studio of our times, has all the twists and turns of one of Pixar’s own films. Will this be an edgy thriller or will the story end happily, like a feel-good family film? How can it be viable for Pixar to go public? Would Jobs interfere? Would they be allowed stock options? Meanwhile, Pixar’s distributor Disney is waiting to gobble up or even crush the upstart start-up. Levy is worried: Pixar, founded in 1986, has many promising divisions (advertising, RenderMan graphics software and an unfinished feature film provisionally entitled Toy Story) but no profits even after Jobs has sunk $50m into the company. Levy approaches the entrance to Steve Jobs’s Tudor-style “cottage.” In Jobs’s den the two men mull over Pixar, the tech company Levy has just accepted Jobs’s invitation to run. Cut to exterior, early evening, in the amber light of Old Palo Alto. Go and see Steve, she says-tell him your concerns. Lawrence Levy, a tech executive in his thirties, is at home with his wife Hillary discussing his new job.
