If Pixar failed with Toy Story, Steve Jobs might've not released the iPhone in 2007 due to his financial and business struggles. Which would have severely delayed the era of modern smartphones and tablets. It's like that whole butterfly thing.
You're saying that if Toy Story had failed, 12 years later, the iPhone would not come out? Seems a bit far fetched to me, especially considering Steve Jobs wasn't funding the iPhone, it was being developed by Apple, which at the time, was already doing remarkably well in terms of stock.
@@ejzeiberg Jobs single handedly designed and programmed the first iPhone. Don't get me wrong, he did not draw any concept arts or write any code. But he oversaw everything about that first iPhone and made it what it became. No Jobs, no iPhone, no Frozen. You get it.

Pixar was a byproduct of Industrial Light & Magic, then it became its own separate entity. Check out the full length documentary called, "The Pixar Story" from 2007 for more in-depth about the how Pixar came to be. People slept in their office, learned how to animate without any knowledge of the software, it was a great documentary.
One of the best channels on You Tube, ColdFusion, I've watched quite a number of your videos since my discovery of your channel, which was just last week.
Steve Jobs is one of the most unreal business stories that ever walked this earth. It's the most outrageous combination of genius, panache, and luck. I almost can't believe it.
I nearly cried when I heard it took weeks to produce 8 seconds of content. This is how far we've come! It's upon us to do even greater things with the technology we have
never thought this ever happened until this video, its such a crucial part of history of animation films and how this team impacted a generation of films to come.. you are doing an amazing job to bring these stories up. Thanks Dgogo ..
I read everything in Steve jobs biography and it was just so awesome to see it in video and animation, everything mentioned in the book is mentioned in this video too, perfect story!!!
...a very worthy exposition of an inspiring and uplifting story. Toy Story had it all: disillusionment, perseverance, wit, jealousy, prejudice, loyalty and friendship to name a few. Congratulations on this episode ColdFusion.
Steve, thank you for giving me beautiful childhood memories. I’ll never forget being in awe watching toy story in the cinemas with my late Father. Beautiful memories.
Most people have misconception that Steve Jobs became rich because of Apple when in fact, he became a billionaire because of his work on Pixar, not Apple.
10:34 I completely disagree. When I watched Wall-E for the first time when I was just 7, I was blown away by the story and the animation. Up to that point, I watched animated films, CGI or not, that having cartoonish styles and stuff like that, with the only exception would be Polar Express but that was made in motion capture. In this case with Wall-E, I never saw an animated film that captures photorealistic before and it holds up for 2008 standards. And the story, characters and again animation captures my imagination. The movie inspired me to become an animator in the first place. As of today, I attend Animation Mentor and trying to add realistic humans into my art style, inspired by Snow White, Pinocchio, Gulliver's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes To Town.
I been watching cold fusion for a while I love your videos. Quick tip please remove 0-120hz low end EQ on your voice when your editing. It will make your voice sound a lot clearer.
You forgot to mention ally ray smith as he was also a co founder of pixar and the fact that both Steve jobs and ally ray smith had a heated argument over steves chalkboard because he didn't want anybody to touch his chalk board which cause ally ray Smith to quit. Still great video.
Say about Steve Jobs what ever you want, but he was a man who knew how to sell goods and ideas like no other. Making people dream and buy into dreams is the most important part of any successful business.
pixar was already a good idea to begin with its nothing special, when you are engaged to do someting groundbraking you have to be couragrous and dont give up
What a marvelous presentation! Thank you so much for shedding light on true history that is fascinating. I had no idea about all of this when I watched Toy Story back in the 90 ies!
I'm pretty sure the desk-lamp short is called "Luxo Jr". Terrific content, as usual. I've been following Pixar since Siggraph '87, where they presented an incomplete "Tin Toy". (Part of it was in wireframe.) Even so, I still learned several new things today. One suggestion: Please treat aspect ratio the same way you do color balance and audio levels. The video stretches 4:3 content to 16:9 constantly, which is quite jarring, and unnecessary. I know that Steve Jobs was never obese, and that John Lasseter was never morbidly obese; but there are many other details which, without the proper frame of reference, come across inaccurately at the wrong aspect ratio.
its crazy how far we've come to think that if you rendered animations like the ones at 1:24 today it would be considered terrible. The fact that a simple home computer without all the proper hardware can create 3d models and animations similar to early 3d animation is a testament to how far the hardware has come
Good video! Pixar accidently deleted thier back up server while producing toys story. Luckily a worker had one at home. This was also intense! Imagine she hadn't it at home!
I was gonna say, the combination of technology and art was right up Jobs' alley. You said it first though. He was also a great scout of talent and that also shows here.
You need too add to that John Lassatter also became the creative head of Disney. Brought over Ghibli films to the US via a production deal. He also brought back Disney 2d animation studios. Also disney own inhouse 3d team that created big hero 6, tangled, frozen, wreck it Ralph, etc. Disney bought Pixar when the old CEO pissed them off concerning revenue shares and Pixar was going to leave. The shareholders revolted and he was replaced. Steve Jobs then became the largest shareholder of disney at like 5 to 7% of stock. By comparison the Disney family only has 2%. Pixar was also kept separate, with no input from Disney. But losing John meant Pixar got worse, Cars 2 and 3, Planes, Good Dinosaur. While Disney got better under him. Big Hero 6 and Wreck it Ralph he took over. John though was forced out at disney over unfounded allegations during the me too movement but has his own production company now. While disney animation has dropped. Luckily Pixar has picked up with a new generation of good animators and directors.
I cant imagine the pressure the hardwork, tears, blood, and sweat those people has to give in order to make this company happen. kudos to those people, you already achieve immortality.
this is a great video to watch when you have a vision and things aren't going well for you. it reminds you not not give up on your vision. just like steve jobs did
Fantastic story, thanks for posting that (you rock). Didn't realise that Steve Jobs was so instrumental in the foundation of Pixar, respect (I hate Apple and their whole approach, so this is really interesting for me personally).
In an alternate universe, PIXAR goes down, Steve is Bankrupt, and DreamWorks comes out with the first 3D Animated Feature Film with characters making awkward faces being the norm.
Very few people can make such an impact on the world that they are remembered for generations to come. Steve Jobs did that with Computers, Films, Music, Mobile Technology, Shopping etc.
I’ve watched the disintegrating rock animation at 12:27 for so many times. Just seems really deep and poetic! Great work Fernando design 🙌

It is hard to explain the awesome impact you do for me. I am currently constructing my life vision and your videos are the perfect food for my imagination. Thank you for objectively presented information about creativity and inovations.
BULLSHIT! I've been in the sector since the '80s. What saved PIXAR wasn't DISNEY (any studio would have given them the $$$ for a movie but Disney was more appropriate for animation, theme parks and merchandise), but the fact that they got their act together and stopped building stupid expensive proprietary hardware to compete with Silicon Graphics, and started to use off-the-shelf computers and Sun workstations to create the first render farms and finish a full-length movie on time. At that period, there were already amazing software animation tools like LightWave, SoftImage (used in Jurassic Park two whole years before Toy Story), AliasPowerAnimator (later renamed Maya), and Autodesk's 3D studio, which I used on my crappy 486 PC to model and render entire short films. So if college kids like me at the time were able to do that, they could have done better with their millions. Jurassic Park already had incredible CGI almost 3 years before Toy Story albeit for short scenes, therefore it was way easier and possible to create a cartoony looking feature film that didn't need the hyper-realism of real-looking Dinosaurs. So don't believe that they struggled. They were just stuck-up egomaniacs driven by Jobs who wanted to do it their own way with closed-source software & hardware than no one was stupid to pay for (like he did with Lisa and NextStation), instead of learning a few lessons from the folks at ILM who used off-the shelf software and hardware ALONG with their own tools and eventually ditched SGI. Ironically both started as subsidiaries of George Lucas' company, and eventually they both became part of Disney years later. So the lesson here is DON'T try to re-invent the wheel when others have done it already, unless you have to. They realised they didn't have to, and that's why they managed to make the movie on time. Although many VFX/Animation studios (like Weta, ILM, Digital Domain, etc) have developed their own in-house tools for SOME things they needed because some tools were not available, these days EVERY studio is using the same tools by 90%, and they rarely develop something from scratch with the exception of plugins to expand the capabilities of their existing pipeline. Trust me, there were enough tools back in 1993 to make a feature film without the need of custom tools and super computers. Once Hollywood realised they could build cheap render farms with a bunch of PCs, THAT is what made 3D animated movies and VFX possible. Scalability of the network to get things done FAST. Not Steve Jobs, not John Lasseter, not Disney and certainly not PIXAR's expensive AF custom computers and proprietary software like Renderman. You can have identical 3D images side-by-side from either SoftImage, 3D studio, Renderman, Alias or Lightwave, and if the artists have done their job properly, the average viewers can't tell the difference. Its TALENT that makes a good 3D render and animation, not the tools. At least we agree on that with Jobs, the difference is that creators like me already knew that, when he had to burn millions to learn the same lesson and admit it years later. Don't give these people more props than they actually deserve.
~1:00 "10-30 minutes per frame"... ~8:45 Then that became "45 minutes to 30 hours per frame" later. Makes one really appreciate the hardware today, calculating the same (one frame) in a mere 0.016 seconds. 60 frames per second. Live, real time rendering. And at a higher quality and resolution too.
Of course, since Steve Jobs was also a Disney board member, you could see some Disney movies in keynotes for products in the 2000’s and the Disney clock faces for the 2010 iPod nano...
The Toy Story Ball design appears at 2:44. I find it cool how their Pixar "demo" or whatever you'd like to call it, carried a design over into the movie.

Is it possible for you to narrate your book for audible, someone else narrated it but your voice would be great and most fans might buy it.
Agree, your voice over is incredible

steve jobs was the heart of 90´s generation, he saved pixar and apple! Our chilhood completly fulfilled by this man!
And bill gates
@Omy steve jobs also a fucking traitor, not to mention his piece of shit personality asshole. but neverthless, he's indeed a creative genius

"It exceeded Netscape..." Wow, that word really dates things. lol
@Jasper Gerrits you really need to calm the fuck down
Great video, being an animator i knew most of this but the way you make videos and narrate everything truly makes an impact.
Steve jobs was this close to failing but he never gave up. Courageous guy
The early classics like Ratatouille also.
He was a millionaire at 22 dude
John Lasseter - " I can go to Disney and be a director, or I can stay at Pixar and make history" - Is so Steve Jobs like.
I nearly cried when I heard it took weeks to produce 8 seconds of content. This is how far we've come! It's upon us to do even greater things with the technology we have
