    Steve Jobs Talks Pixar in 'Never-Before-Seen' Interview as
    'Toy Story' Turns 30
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Just ahead of the 30th anniversary of Toy Story, The Steve Jobs
    Archive has shared a "never-before-seen" video of Steve Jobs
    discussing Pixar.

    The interview is from November 22, 1996 -aexactly one year after
    Toy Story debuted in theaters, as the world's first entirely
    computer-animated feature-length film. In the video, Jobs
    reflects on Pixar's early success, business model, and more.

    For those unaware, Pixar was born after Jobs purchased the
    computer graphics division of Lucasfilm, and spun it into an
    independent company. He remained Pixar's majority shareholder
    until the company was sold to Disney in 2006.
