Pixar Animation Studios

皮克斯动画工作室

For three decades, it’s produced stories which have exceeded the ideas of what a cartoon should be by appealing to children, their parents and pretty much every age group out there. It begins with a thought, the basis for the story. From there, regular meetings are held with trusted members of the company to transform that idea. Criticisms are tossed away for open discussion and everyone is inviting when it comes to restructuring a feature for the betterment of the final product. It’s all about creating an image of acceptance and quality with your audience.

过去30年，皮克斯动画不仅吸引了儿童及其父母，还触动了几乎各个年龄段的人群，由此超越了人们对动画的固有印象。由一个故事构想，即故事梗概开始，公司定期召开核心成员会议，完善构思。在调整某一特色以更好呈现最终作品方面，公司摒弃一味批评，鼓励公开讨论，欢迎所有成员发表意见。这一切都是为了把控作品质量，令观众满意。

Every Pixar picture to date, as well as the short films that preceded them, have been the result of the writers trying to surprise themselves by being candid about their own story’s flaws. We all know the resulting filmography–the Toy Story franchise, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, WALL-E, Finding Dory–the list goes on and on. Not every moment has always been a success, but the positives have far outweighed the negatives. It all began in 1986 with an investment from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Since then, the desk lamp logo for the company has become one of the most memorable symbols in cinematic history. With releases for Cars 3, Coco, Toy Story 4 and The Incredibles 2, the anticipation only grows for what’s next.

迄今为止，每部皮克斯电影，以及之前的短片，都是编剧们坦诚面对自己故事的缺陷从而成就的惊喜之作。比如我们都知道的《玩具总动员》系列，《超人总动员》《美食总动员》《飞屋环游记》《机器人总动员》《海底总动员2：多莉去哪儿》等——作品数不胜数。成功并非总是如影相随，但发展道路上的积极因素远超消极因素。1986年,苹果联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯对其进行了投资。此后，公司的台灯标志便成为电影史上最令人印象深刻的标志之一。随着《汽车总动员3》《寻梦环游记》《玩具总动员4》和《超人总动员2》的上映，人们对其未来抱有更高的期待。
