Not surprised that Tim Burton’s designs were often rejected by early Disney executives. She’s got such a different style.

While the writing is a bit dry and expository, the subject is fascinating. I never realized how, for example, the university of Utah was involved with early advances in computer graphics (which led to the Silicon Slopes of the Wasatch Front), or how companies like Lucas Film were important to the careers of many who founded Pixar.
