Pixar: 20 Years of Animation and Counting is a documentary film hosted by John Ratzenberger. The program aired in 2006 on The Wonderful World of Disney ABC series, and was originally titled "Pixar's 20th Anniversary Special." The 3-hour documentary showed how Pixar went from a small computer graphics studio producing shorts and TV commercials to a full-fledged animation studio. Toy Story was aired during the special, along with a behind the scenes look at the then upcoming Cars.
Written, directed and produced by Leslie Iwerks (granddaughter of pioneer Ub Iwerks), it also featured appearances by filmmaker George Lucas, Steve Jobs (who provided the funding to Lucas to spin the Lucxasfilm Graphics Division out into Pixar), Pixar's chief creative officer John Lasseter and Roy Disney. Also appearing was Tom Hanks (the voice of Woody), Tim Allen (the voice of Buzz Lightyear), and Billy Crystal (the voice of Mike Wazowski).
In 2007, Iwerks released a more detailed documentary titled The Pixar Story, which was nominated for an Emmy.
