Yesterday's Pixar Connection

When Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple, which he had founded, in 1985, he bought a computer graphics division of Lucas Films called The Graphics Group. This is the company that became Pixar, producer of Toy Story, Finding Nemo, A Bug's Life, The Incredibles, Wall-E, and Up. Animation magic. Steve Jobs owned Pixar. John Lassiter, who must also be a genius, is credited as the "creative chief," but Jobs worked his magic on Pixar, too.
