	A&L News Release - Celebrating Pixar Animation Studios (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Pixar began as George Lucas’s computer division in 1979, and became an independent enterprise making computer-generated films in 1986 when Steven Jobs (one of the co-founders of Apple Computers) bought the business and recruited a talented team including John Lasseter, who would go on to direct many of Pixar’s productions.
		The film, however, is not merely an animation showcase, as it is warm, full of wit and sprung from the clever premise that toys come to life when humans aren’t with them.
		Pixar’s estimable success—and its not always friendly rivalry with Dreamworks Animation that had the fortunate result of spurring creativity and innovation in both studios—led to the introduction of an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2002.

		Director John Lasseter is a pioneer of the computer animation industry, co-director of Disney's new CG film, A Bug's Life, and VP of Pixar Animation Studios.
		Computer animation's evolution from novelty act to what Lasseter calls "a legitimate art form" has left him positive about what might lie ahead for his industry.
		Lasseter is familiar with this issue because Pixar, in just the three years since Toy Story's release, has had to digitally update all its old models, characters, and environments from that project while also creating an upcoming sequel.
