The Pixar Touch
By Virginia Prescott on Tuesday, July 1, 2008.
listen:
Pixar’s latest hit WALL-E tells the story of a trash compactor living among the garbage on an uninhabited earth. And this drew almost $63 million at the weekend box office?
We’ve come to expect surprises from Pixar. After all, last year’s big hit was about a rat who loved food - a big gamble from a company built on taking risks, providential investments, and sheer talent.
David Price, author of "The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company," joins Word of Mouth with the story of a few visionary engineers and cartoon nuts who ushered in the renaissance of animation.
We also get a review of WALL-E from New England Cable News film critic Garen Daly.
