Actor-director Jon Favreau will moderate the panel, which will also feature additional guests to be announced.
Twenty years after they collaborated on the game-changing, multi-Academy-Award-winning film, director and co-writer Lasseter and executive producer Catmull (who also created the digital animation program that made Toy Story possible) will share behind-the-scenes stories about the challenges they faced as they imagined, invented and problem-solved their way into motion picture history.
Pixar Animation Studios, founded in 1986, was at the vanguard of the computer animation revolution that blurred the lines between art and technology. Toy Story was the company’s first feature film, after years of creating revolutionary software, animated logos and television commercials with Lasseter and Catmull leading the way. The film earned Oscar nominations for Original Song, Original Musical or Comedy Score, and Original Screenplay (the first for an animated film); Lasseter shared in the screenplay nomination as well as received a Special Achievement Award for his inspired leadership of the filmmaking team. Catmull went on to receive an Oscar for his contributions to RenderMan, the software that was instrumental to the creation of Toy Story and the countless computer-animated films that followed.
