After being fired from the company that was co-founded by him, Jobs founded another computer company, NeXT Computer. In 1986, Jobs bought the Graphics Group which was later named as Pixar from Lucas films computer graphics division. In 1996, Apple bought NeXT for $429 million which led to Jobs rejoining Apple the company he co-founded. He soon became Apples interim CEO. On January 24, 2006, Disney purchased Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion and Jobs became The Walt Disney Companys largest single shareholder with approximately 7% of the companys stock.

No doubt the whole speech was inspirational but one ofthebest line was-You have to trust thatall the dots will connect with time. We just need to have faith and follow our hearts.Steve Jobs Selected Quotes :“Its rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing.”“It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we dont get on the wrong track or try to do too much.”“Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?”“I didnt see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.” There are innumerable quotes by Steve Jobs but I have listed few that really made me feel good while reading them out”.From personal life to the professional, I have tried to jot down草草記下;匆匆記下the whole lot of this ingenious person but the list is endless and words as they say are always less to describe the great personalities. Recently, Jobs was in news for taking a leave for health reasons and he is undergoing the medical treatment. We wish Steve good luck for his health!作為如今全球動畫業(yè)界的一線大佬，皮克斯不光帶動著動畫技術(shù)的一次次革新，同時其令人每每嘆服的劇情設(shè)置與人文關(guān)懷都成為皮克斯作品的標簽風格。而作為曾經(jīng)的東家，同時也是PC業(yè)界至尊的蘋果公司乃至其CEO喬布斯本人，都對皮克斯風格的養(yǎng)成以及作品元素的體現(xiàn)上擁有著無與倫比的影響。 皮克斯、蘋果和喬布斯之間有著怎樣千絲萬縷的關(guān)系，本專題將一一探討。皮克斯動畫片與“蘋果”的不解之緣（一）機器人瓦力機器人瓦力的一位重要角色御姐機械人伊娃，她通體的白色，簡約的流線性以及無縫觸感，都讓人聯(lián)想到這簡直就是一臺變形金剛版的IPOD。皮克斯動畫片與“蘋果”的不解之緣（二）玩具總動員3玩具總動員3中，主角們正在通過蘋果電腦尋找地址。看看這操作界面，蘋果迷們會心一笑。 皮克斯動畫片與“蘋果”的不解之緣（三）飛屋環(huán)游記雖然在飛屋環(huán)游記中我們并沒有看到突兀的蘋果系產(chǎn)品，不過你以為就真的跟蘋果沒關(guān)系了嗎？ 皮克斯動畫片與“蘋果”的不解之緣（四）賽車總動員賽車總動員里無數(shù)的汽車造型讓你眼花繚亂，不過你留意過一輛84號賽車嗎？它通體蘋果白，且在車身前還有一個大大的蘋果LOGO！ 皮克斯動畫片與“蘋果”的不解之緣（五）超人總動員剛剛推出的IPAD2無疑是蘋果公司2011年的開年大事件，而早在2004年的皮克斯動畫電影超人總動員里，其實就出現(xiàn)了一款同IPAD頗為相似的電腦終端。-皮克斯動畫片與喬布斯：一些不能不說的秘密喬布斯向來以“龜毛難纏”所著稱，對于皮克斯的這些怪咖天才們而言，本就已經(jīng)力求精益求精的風格，或許會受到更高規(guī)格的挑戰(zhàn)。據(jù)當時的皮克斯資深員工在私下爆料稱：“喬布斯是個科技天才，不過對于藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作，顯然他就沒那么在行了！”因此，皮克斯員工在一些動畫角色的設(shè)置上都多少以喬布斯為原型，以期來開這位老板的小玩笑。蟲蟲危機：暗指喬布斯自作聰明在蟲蟲危機里，那只經(jīng)常自作聰明成事不足的小螞蟻就是根據(jù)其形象塑造的，片中這家伙最大的功績就是制作了一只用來嚇唬人的假鳥，皮克斯人暗指喬布斯在蘋果開發(fā)的IMAC：空有概念般的質(zhì)感，但其實性能卻沒有得到多大的提升。 【詳細】-玩具總動員2：警示喬布斯要深知自身缺點 1999年玩具總動員2更像是告誡喬布斯的一個寓言，皮克斯的動畫師要通過這部動畫電影告訴喬布斯：你可以得到一時的熱愛，但不可能總是被人們寵信，要深知自己的缺點與問題所在。而這也正是玩2所要闡釋的主題?！驹敿殹?怪物&海底總動員：影射喬布斯與其私生女怪物公司曾被指影射喬布斯與其私生女，謠傳這個私生女剛出生時，喬布斯為了掩蓋真相居然要求醫(yī)生開具他不具備生育能力的證明！不過最終他還是接受了這個孩子。聯(lián)想到海底總動員里，父子分離復(fù)合的曲折，你還能說什么呢？【詳細】-喬布斯、皮克斯和蘋果-皮克斯被遺棄的“幸運兒”-皮克斯的歷史遠比公眾認知的長。這家小公司一開始便在軟硬件開發(fā)上沒有明確定位。成為喬治盧卡斯的電影公司旗下電腦動畫部門的皮克斯前身始終在電腦繪圖應(yīng)用上進行著創(chuàng)新。因此，盡管2006年喬布斯與皮克斯分道揚鑣，喬布斯卻在皮克斯最艱難的時候帶領(lǐng)皮克斯渡過難關(guān)。【詳細】-皮克斯是喬布斯的貴婦-無所事事的喬布斯以500萬美元的價格買下了皮克斯。喬布斯希望靠皮克斯在電腦繪圖軟硬平臺上的優(yōu)勢重建輝煌，使得皮克斯的動畫部門成了一個應(yīng)用和展示平臺，因而得以繼續(xù)制作電腦動畫短片，獲得一連串勝利后?！驹敿殹?蘋果與皮克斯猶似雙生-蘋果用藝術(shù)創(chuàng)造科學，皮克斯用科學創(chuàng)造藝術(shù)。喬布斯的“三步”理論讓蘋果操作起來非常人性，簡潔實用得如馬桶般的蘋果產(chǎn)品從來不做跟風者。皮克斯則通過電影作品不斷向公眾證實電腦為藝術(shù)提供的無限可能?！驹敿殹?獨特的定位和共有的理念-在喬布斯苛刻的管理下，皮克斯如蘋果一樣有了自己的目標和定位。同時，喬布斯重新打理皮克斯，精簡編隊，開拓銷售渠道，調(diào)整結(jié)盟力量，推崇精英人才文化。這與他重回蘋果公司后的措施和理念完全一致。-皮克斯動畫電影創(chuàng)造的四大奇跡皮克斯動畫工作室(Pixar Animation Studios)，于1986年正式成立，至今已經(jīng)出品十一部動畫長片和十九部動畫短片。雖然作品不多，但是部部經(jīng)典，給影迷留下非常深刻的印象，對動畫電影歷史影響也很深遠，實現(xiàn)了動畫電影票房、技術(shù)上的完美飛越，碩果累累。玩具引領(lǐng)動畫革新料理鼠王大受歡迎澳大利亞皮克斯動畫回顧展-技術(shù)：3D的引入 動畫技術(shù)的第三次飛躍1995年11月22日，皮克斯制作的世界上第一部全電腦制作的動畫長片玩具總動員在全美上映(由迪士尼發(fā)行)。影片以1.92億美元的票房刷新了動畫電影的紀錄，為導(dǎo)演約翰拉塞特贏得了奧斯卡特殊成就獎。這部玩具總動員被稱為繼米老鼠賦予動畫片聲音，白雪公主賦予動畫片色彩后，動畫技術(shù)的第三次飛躍賦予動畫片3D。 【詳細】票房：11部動畫片全球票房65億 總產(chǎn)值四百億美元雖然皮克斯在二十多年間只推出十部商業(yè)動畫電影，但因為片片熱賣，票房總收入加周邊商品的販售，總產(chǎn)值接近四百億美元。2001年第四部電腦動畫長片怪物公司票房僅次于獅子王，2003年5月30日上映的海底總動員則成為全美最賣座動畫片；而如今2010年上映的玩具總動員3則再次刷新自己保持的票房紀錄，成為皮克斯最大的搖錢樹?！驹敿殹繕s譽：奧斯卡獎臺上8次獲獎，最佳動畫長片4連冠皮克斯的經(jīng)典動畫作品除了11部長片外，還有多部短片制作也很精良，這些優(yōu)秀的作品也成為奧斯卡的?？?，玩具總動員3獲今年奧斯卡最佳影片、最佳動畫長片等共5項提名，成為最受矚目的動畫電影，最終摘得最佳動畫長片寶座，可謂實至名歸。皮克斯歷年來獲得奧斯卡最佳動畫長片獎的影片分別是玩具總動員3、飛屋環(huán)游記、機器人總動員、美食總動員?！驹敿殹匡L格：創(chuàng)作上的完美表達皮克斯一向堅持創(chuàng)造屬于自己的故事和人物，而不是照搬老舊的童話或暢銷的書籍。我們也不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，皮克斯電影取得成功有三個要素，精彩的故事腳本、逼真的動畫場景、及打動人心的角色刻畫，這一非常完美組合不但創(chuàng)造出了享譽全球的新現(xiàn)代童話及許多人的童年夢想，更創(chuàng)新電影動畫所帶來的熱情、愛、人性的光輝和永不褪色的未來?！驹敿殹?揭秘皮克斯“七大創(chuàng)意原則”-原則之一：永遠不要只抱著一個點子 “全神貫注的研究一個想法，后果就是他們限制了自己的選擇的空間”。-原則之二：記住創(chuàng)作過程中的第一次歡笑 “好的點子流失就是因為人們忘了第一次聽到這個好點子時的反應(yīng)?！?-原則之三：質(zhì)量是最大的商業(yè)計劃 “一旦你有了一個更棒的想法，你就要重做一遍?！?原則之四：團隊就是一切 “到底是哪一個個體想出了這個點子并不重要?！?原則之五：快樂激發(fā)創(chuàng)意，而不是競爭 “要使有創(chuàng)意的人衷心熱愛他們正在做的東西?！?原則之六：創(chuàng)意品的輸出永遠能反映出公司高層實質(zhì) “一個不夠格的管理者會阻礙創(chuàng)作過程的進行?！?原則之七：要被你所相信的創(chuàng)意人員所包圍 “不安全感是不可能和創(chuàng)造力共存的。-皮克斯和迪斯尼15年恩怨 6部大片明爭暗斗迪斯尼和皮克斯一直是一對“歡喜冤家”，他們誰都需要對方，可是總是一直在明爭暗斗，都想從合作中撈到更大的好處，而爭斗的態(tài)勢總是隨著雙方實力的變化發(fā)生著戲劇性的轉(zhuǎn)折。今年1月，迪斯尼花74億美元并購了皮克斯，看上去是一個大團圓的結(jié)局，但誰又能說他們之間的爭斗從此平息了呢？ 苛刻條件留下病根1991年，迪斯尼公司動畫部和皮克斯簽訂了制作三部全電腦動畫長片的合同。后來又擴展到五部。但很快兩者的合作就出現(xiàn)了裂痕。1998年在玩具2的制作過程中，迪斯尼想要把這部影片直接投放到錄像帶市場，但這個命令遭到了皮克斯的堅決阻擊，最終迪斯尼同意作為大片投放影院，卻不肯把這部影片算作合約5部電影中的一部，這樣皮克斯給迪斯尼“打工”的任務(wù)表上又平添了一部長片，也就是說要制作6部長片合約再結(jié)束。 【詳細】-乘勝追擊取得戰(zhàn)果之后的幾年里，迪斯尼公司自己的二維動畫片一直在走下坡路，自己搞的三維動畫恐龍也和皮克斯的作品完全不在一個水準上，皮克斯知道迪斯尼動畫部的一條腿已經(jīng)瘸了，它們是它剩下的獨腿，所以更加理直氣壯地找迪斯尼討“公道”。到了2004年，皮克斯拒絕和迪斯尼續(xù)約，表示希望獨立發(fā)行電影。同年埃斯納辭職后，兩者終于開始重新會談。皮克斯想要完全控制制作過程，擁有成片的全部版權(quán)，而迪斯尼只負責發(fā)行。 【詳細】-半推半就合為一體作為美國電影市場的后來者，皮克斯自辦發(fā)行非常困難，它們離開迪斯尼，最大的可能性是再次委身另一個大東家。而迪斯尼也推出了自己獨立制作的動畫長片四眼天雞，還宣布要制作四部動畫大片，其中包括沒有皮克斯參與的玩具3。四眼天雞獲得了成功，表明迪斯尼沒有皮克斯也能活，而皮克斯的股票卻在下滑?？勺詈蟮纤鼓徇€是說出了皮克斯想聽的那句話：花天價買下皮克斯，兩者又重新走到了一起。 【詳細】-皮克斯和夢工廠磕磕碰碰數(shù)十載 競爭中求發(fā)展說到動畫片，任何人都不會不提起皮克斯和夢工廠，它們帶給世界觀眾太多經(jīng)典的動畫形象，那些幻想出來的人物仿佛已經(jīng)進入了現(xiàn)實，生活在我們周圍，是我們的朋友。市場有限，從邁克爾-埃斯納對卡岑伯格食言起，似乎就預(yù)示著動畫王國不會平靜。在過去的十幾年里，夢工廠和皮克斯在產(chǎn)量、票房、獎項甚至作品取材和內(nèi)容上一刻都沒停止競爭。未來之路，會不會有絕對的贏家？哪方會笑傲江湖？只能拭目以待?！皟删揞^”領(lǐng)頭人之間的恩怨 說到皮克斯與夢工廠動畫公司的恩怨，必須提到的一個公司就是迪士尼公司。1984年，邁克爾埃斯納成為迪士尼執(zhí)行官后，卡岑伯格成了迪士尼電影部門的主管。在帶領(lǐng)團隊辛勤勞動并取得一系列好成績后，埃斯納并沒有兌現(xiàn)他許給卡岑伯格的承諾。經(jīng)過冷靜的思考后，卡岑伯格打了三個電話。第一個打給了剛把自己名下唱片公司以7億美元價格賣給華納公司的大衛(wèi)格芬。第二個電話打給了事業(yè)如日中天的斯皮爾伯格。第三個電話打給了當時全球富豪榜上排名第七的保羅艾倫。在這三位娛樂工業(yè)領(lǐng)軍人物的支持下，卡岑伯格創(chuàng)建了夢工廠。 【詳細】-產(chǎn)量、票房和獎項大比拼截止到2010年，夢工廠共發(fā)行了近20部動畫影片，而皮克斯，從1995年的玩具總動員到玩具3才共制作了11部影片，就產(chǎn)量來說，只是夢工廠的一半。但提到票房，皮克斯就可以笑傲江湖了。雖產(chǎn)量僅有夢工廠的一般，票房卻以35億美元領(lǐng)銜于夢工廠的32億。也就是說，皮克斯每部作品的平均票房約為3.2億，而夢工廠的作品平均票房只有1.6億。票房和產(chǎn)量完全成了反比。而且皮克斯是名副其實的奧斯卡專業(yè)戶，它從收購“工業(yè)光魔”開始就一直致力于創(chuàng)作精美的動畫，2008年到2011年更是創(chuàng)造了“四連冠”的驕人成績。 【詳細】-細數(shù)皮克斯和夢工廠的PK實戰(zhàn)皮克斯和夢工廠從1998年開始就互相較勁。（一）2001年，夢工廠打造了一位長相極丑，卻無比溫柔的綠色怪物，就是怪物史萊克，在取得票房和口碑的勝利后，死對頭皮克斯不甘勢弱，收羅了更多的怪獸干脆開起了怪物公司。（二）2004年夢工廠推出的鯊魚黑幫落后了皮克斯2003年的海底總動員足足一年多。（三）2003年，皮克斯推出一部奇趣、狂想的動畫大片海底總動員，其栩栩如生的形象和感人情節(jié)轟動了全球。2004年，夢工廠也不甘示弱的推出海洋作品鯊魚黑幫，用另類的手法將海底世界擬人化。 【詳細】-皮克斯動畫發(fā)展史1986年正式成立1986年2月3日，盧卡斯電影公司旗下工業(yè)光魔公司的電腦動畫部被史蒂夫-喬布斯收購，正式成為獨立制片公司皮克斯。199
