Question

What was disney’s reaction to seeing pixar’s first proposal of toy story?

Answer 1

We're in the screening room of an exotic little San Francisco Bay area production company called Pixar Animation Studios, watching the dailies of a major work-in-progress, director John Lasseter presiding. And not to get too hyperbolic here, but we're witnessing history being made before our very eyes. You've heard of Debbie Does Dallas? Call this Disney Does Digital.

Two years ago, less than a half-dozen feature films employed the use of computer graphics; this year maybe a half-dozen won't use any sort of digital enhancements. If Hollywood has suddenly embraced the computer as a significant (and cost-effective) illusion-making tool, then Disney's Toy Story is arguably the most ambitious computer-generated undertaking yet.

hope this helps!
