Spotlight:
It all started in 1995 with Toy Story, the animated tale of the competition between two toys — a cowboy and a spaceman action figure — for the love of the young boy who owns them. It was Pixar's first full-length feature animated film that was completely computer-generated and it was directed by John Lasseter. Lasseter, a pioneer in computer animation, was a founding member of Pixar and has had a controlling hand in every computer-animated film from Toy Story through Bolt, with favorites like The Incredibles, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, and Wall-E among the other films he has directed, produced or written. Happy birthday to John Lasseter, who turns 52 today.
