Ed Catmull (Pixar) On Founders Podcast

[CARDOZZO]

 

Ed Catmull is the co-founder of Pixar and the former president of Disney Animation.

He grew up in 1950s Utah wanting to animate for Disney. Convinced he couldn't draw well enough, he studied physics and computer science at the University of Utah instead, landing in one of the great talent incubators in computing history. In 1972, he animated his own left hand—one of the first 3D computer renderings ever made. Since childhood he had carried a single ambition: to make the first feature film animated entirely by computer. Reaching it took more than 20 years.

Steve Jobs fired 2 members of the board of directors because they never disagreed with him. If they do not disagree, they are not bringing any value to the company.
