The heroes of Ed Catmell’s childhood were Albert Einstein and Walt Disney. The captivating images of a connoisseur of the laws of the earthly world and the creator of an undiscovered world of animation set the direction of the professional biography of the future president of Pixar—to study the unknown and create what you dream of. That’s exactly what Catmell did, presenting the public with the first computer-graphics film in history (“The Hand,” 1972), exploring how it could be combined with classic hand-drawn animation; working at George Lucas’s film studio Lucasfilm; helping to create time-bucking cartoons like “Toy Story” and “A Bug’s Life”… Ed Catmell talks about how powerful a push toward self-development can be given by childhood dreams and hopes: the boy who used to freeze in front of the TV during “The Wonderful World of Disney” is today the one who leads a successful film studio—and learns, from his own experience, the difficult art of managing the “corporation of geniuses.”
