Alvy Ray Smith
Smith and Catmull co-founded Pixar in 1986 with financing from Steve Jobs. After the spinout from Lucasfilm of Pixar, he served on the board of directors and was executive vice president. According to the Steve Jobs biography "iCon" by Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon, Alvy Ray quit Pixar after a heated argument with Jobs over use of a whiteboard. It was an unwritten rule that none other than Jobs was allowed to use it, a rule Smith decided to break in front of everyone after Jobs went "total street bully" on him and they ended up screaming into each other's face "in full bull rage". Despite being the co-founder of Pixar, Young and Simon claim that the company has largely overlooked his part in company history since his departure. For example, there is no mention of Smith on the Pixar website.
Coco (2017 film)
"Coco" is the second Pixar offering of the year, following "Cars 3", with 2017 being the second year Pixar released two films, after 2015 (with "Inside Out" and "The Good Dinosaur"). The film was accompanied in theaters by Walt Disney Animation Studios' 21-minute featurette "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" as a limited time offering, featuring the characters from "Frozen", making "Coco" the first Pixar film not to be accompanied by a Pixar short in theaters since their first film, "Toy Story", in 1995. The film also has its own VR game, being Pixar's first VR development.
