Pixar movies have always been a favorite in many households, partly because they stray away from the typical Disney princess movies and focus on a small concept with a big impact on the viewers.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The author is Ed Catmull, president of Pixar. Pixar is the first company that produced an animated feature film entirely generated by computer, Toy Story. The purpose of the book is not however to tell the story of Pixar, but of the management principles that Catmull has managed to distil, together with his team, of the experience of creating Pixar and guide to its integration in Disney and beyond. Catmull focuses primarily on how to promote and protect the creativity, which is clearly the essence of a company with the success of the one we are dealing with.

Disney vs. Grimm Throughout time there has been an alteration of fairy tales. Grimm brothers original stories are much more graphic and violent than the fairy tales we think of today. Disney dispalies stories that are less graphic and fit for children, while still using the main idea and concept of the original Grimm brothers’ stories.

For instance, both Cinderella and Snow White are beautiful princesses that are forced to be maids and have similar antagonists in their stories, which are evil step mothers who are jealous of their step daughter 's beauty.

When we see a famous figure we believe that they usually get to success quite quickly. Do they really? Many famous figures pass through harsh patches in their life to get to where they stand now. As for Walt Disney he also passed through failures and move from his state to pursue what he wanted to do.
