A Lesson in Failure - The Story of Pixar 

And speaking of things now related to Disney- here's a video revealing How the “I’m Going to Disneyland” Saying Got Started: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QNZf9W9zZJY.html

my take on this story is that firing staff as they were cattle and having practically infinite money to pour into something makes anything successful.

Ed Catmull, the fearless leader. Now immortalized as a tiny, musical cougar

and you now know the exact type of person steve jobs was. Greed is the most prevalent human short coming.

I'm a Patreon of this channel and seriously considering stopping that and unsubbing if the long ads in the middle continue.

So far, most of the commenters want to have sexual relations with a bear in a tunnel.

I really hate the ads in the middle of videos. Non-skipable ads are bad enough but when they're in the middle of the video it's enough to make me want to find something else to watch.

It's funny that Disney fired Lasseter because of his obsession with computer animation. After Lasseter played the major role in making Pixar a successful animation studio, Disney ultimately bought the rights to the Pixar.

I feel really sorry to say this because I enjoy the show and I'm happy to support it by watching ads and listening to sponsorships (and buying a product that sounds interesting), but I'm going to unsubscribe and stop watching altogether if you keep placing these sponsors in the middle of the video. Some channels like Philip DeFranco can do it between his stories, but since you just have one long story, it completely derails the pacing. By the time you got back to Pixar, I completely forgot where the story left off and I just lost interest. And yes, I actually listened to the sponsor instead of skipping forward. (This issue was compounded by the additional midroll ad I got watching the Man in the Iron Mask video.) Like I said, I really want to be a good supporter but it just doesn't work for the format you currently have. My best suggestion is to put it before your "bonus fact", since that's at least a tangent from the main topic. I hope you'll listen to us because there are a LOT of people asking this to stop.

Never put an advertisement in the middle of a video again.

Hi man, I thought this was a really good video, but the advertising in the middle breaks up the flow of the narrative, and I am sure it would be greatly appreciated by your whole community if you stuck with putting advertisements at the end of the video. I understand you have to make money, but please don't sacrifice your content, furthermore putting the ad in the video, just pisses us off, makes us less likely to buy the product and forces us to faff around with the +10s button for a minute.

I'm so used to seeing the word "Story" with "Pixar" that I immediately read "The Toy Story of Pixar" as the title and I bet I'm not the only one

Another quick fun fact. There was a Super Nintendo game called Uniracers which had unicycles racing around a kind of psychedelic raceway. Pixar sued the creators claiming that the art style of the unicycles was too similar to their animation style. The court sided with Pixar and the game was taken off the market.

Today i went into a McDonald's for the first time in 3 years and today i found out was playing on their TV's. It was a wtf moment, in a good way 😀

Voted down for over intrusive ad in the middle.

The ad in the middle was far too long, really distracting.

Jobs wasn’t good at marketing. The man’s only sales pitch was “I’m a genius because I say I am, now give me money.” - The fact people weren’t able to see through the man’s towering, unwarranted ego and his hollow self-aggrandizement didn’t mean he was a genius, it’s simply a testament to the extreme gullibility of people. Calling him a cunt is an insult to cunts.

The ad is ok, but it's too long to be put in the middle of the video. Either make it shorter or put it in the end. This way people will leave.

The add in the middle made sure I will NEVER have anything to do with tunnelbear.

You kinda screwed up the video with a mid-vid advert, throwing the whole of the vid into chaos. ummm...yeah.

As soon as that infernal ad in the middle of the video started I turned off. Don`t put ads in the middle of videos , it only annoys people .

As a Pixar fan I really enjoyed this video. I know you guys have to make money and need the sponsors to keep this channel going, and I'm a proud patron over on Patreon. Is there any way Patrons at some level could get access to a video without the sponsor ad in the middle of it? Just throwing an idea out there! Love this channel and TopTenzNet and watch the videos every day!

6:29 is when he stops talking about the stupid tunnelbear thing

Also got to thank Catmull for open sourcing some algorithms that could have stayed proprietary. Pretty much all 3D software out there uses that stuff now. And although the Renderman render engine remains proprietary, it's also available to use for free for non-commmercial use. That's pretty cool, and something that's not usually expected of somebody in that position.

down vote for shoving ads within content, next time its un-sub.

Definitely not a fan of being interrupted to be advertised to. Please keep the ad spots to the beginning (6~ seconds) and end of the video in the future.

Hey TIFO team, I'm not a big fan of the commercial-center format. I respect your right to add them, but be aware I tend to lose focus and forget what the video was about in the first place. This is somewhat counter productive to your cause. I know channels like Linus Tech Tips can get away with murder when it comes to commercials in YT content but technically even his base content is selling something most of the time. There is a difference between what he does and you guys. I'm not trying to complain or rant here. I have a simple suggestion. Do your commercials like your content. Start with something interesting and edit out all of the unnecessary bits. I imagine there are a few talking points the advertisers require. Honestly, think about it. The requirements were created as a compromise by a bunch of suits in a meeting. If you create something interesting, entertaining, and/or effective the 'rules' will get tossed in a hurry. Your targeting a next generation audience here. People are not responding to old style advertising in general. The only way to make a real impression is to keep it within the 8-12 second modern attention span if you want to leave a positive impression. Anything beyond that is counter productive unless you possess something remarkable. You can either keep it ultra simple, short, and repetitive over the long term, or short and interesting. However you do it, the content needs to avoid that cringing emotion most people have with these commercials on most channels. I recommend you do something short, unique, and interesting every time. Something like,... On xxxx/xx/xx JoeShmo logged into his laptop and noticed he kept getting ads for family law attorneys. After looking into his browsers history he found out about his wife's affair. If JillShmo had used a VPN Joe wouldn't see these tracking ads. ... Something interesting instead of 'listen to the same basic spiel again and again'/'do it because it supports us'/'do it because we do it.' No offence intended, I'm just saying these methods don't fit the content/audience very well IMO. I came for interesting, keep it interesting. -Jake.

Pixar is not Perfect. I mean there's a lamp that kills off one of their letters of the logo.

I love your channel, don't fuck it up with this middle-of-the-video sponsored garbage for a product I don't need or want.

thumbs down for sneaky ad

Your tunnel ear commercial is way too LONGGGGG!

4:20 "[Steve Jobs] established an independent company he called 'Pixar'" 7:23 "Despite the common myth Steve Jobs had nothing to do with naming the company 'Pixar'"

I've been watching a lot of these videos and I've noticed that he REALLY has a bone to pick with Steven Jobs. Not saying he's a saint but every video about him paints him in a negative/sarcastic light... I find that really funny.

Can you please tell me at what level you master your audio? I see your content loudness is consistently close to perfect. Guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

I heard that Pixar is short for Pixel Art, but then not everything you hear is right, I guess.

The ads right in the middle are annoying

Have to agree with other comments putting a long ad in the middle of the narrative, just breaks it up and means you try to skip the ad. Sorry but meant I gave up watching. This channel is normally very good and I understand the need to advertise, but I hope a 2min ad in the middle is not going to be common!

6:28 to skip ad

I don't mind a short ad in the middle of the video, but I don't want to sit through a boring infomercial. I'll give you another chance to get it right, but I suggest you respect your viewers or we are out of here.

I guess I thought that by paying every month for RU-vid Red (which I have since the beginning) was a method by which one would not be required to view ads while still supporting said creator. My question: if I donate to the patreon account for the channel will I then find the same video less ads posted to patreon? Because then I'd be paying twice (with Red.) I would consider that if necessary. To those who say some of us want good content for free....nope. I'll gladly pay. But, I wont watch ads.

1. People install adblock to get rid of annoying youtube ads...especially the minute long unskippable ones. 2. Content creators put ads in the video themselves. 3. They want more so they put it in the middle of the video, breaking up the flow of the video, angering the viewers and ruining entirely for some, might have been an enjoyable video. 4. People then return to TV and leave youtube altogether because. If we are gonna be forced to 'get an ad' i'll just go back to the TV. 5. Content Creators die out and don't learn their lesson. NOTE: People don't mind ads at the begining or the end because it does not interupt the video. Linus Tech Tips does that well enough plus, some videos can be sponsered content itself which means the entire video can work as an ad if done properly. my 2cents: Keep it at the begining or end for in-video ads, having them in the middle interuppts videos. unsubbing since i don't want more of that, going to look for channels that keep their ads to the begining/end respectively. THOSE ads are worth watching for me.

Steve Jobs was pretty scummy

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_Daemon#/media/File:Bsd_daemon.jpg because he mentions it then doesn't show it...

If you want a lesson in failure just check my school reports

Thanks for the tunnel bear ad. I am definitely going to buy this, if after I research it a bit. If it is as promoted, it is a must have. Oh and I watch your vids all the time. Love them.

Please no mid-video-adspots!!! If this becomes the norm, I'm unsubbing.

I never EVER comment on the RU-vid videos I watch daily, but perhaps that makes it clear how much I truly hate the sponsor ad in the middle of this video. I, like many people, pay RU-vid good money for RU-vid red so that I don't have to sit through infuriating stuff like that. I for one will probably unsubscribe from the channel if there are many more disruptions like that and I know that many of my friends will almost certainly do the same, and that's a shame because I think this is otherwise a great channel.. Please find another way.

Wow, really catered to the geek in all of us today. :-)

Simon's voice is so soothing and cadence so pleasing I find myself grasping the contents of his narration even if I am not paying attention! That is a rare for me because even with my most liked hosts it is often the case that I must invest a bit of an effort in order to follow them for whatever reason.

*BOOOOOOo* 4:25 *NO* *MID* *VIDEO* *ADS* If your smart you will *learn* this today. Listen to your subscribers.

Add ends at 6:26

Fuck this ad shit, I'm out

"Wanted to be treated as if he too was an expert in computer graphics..." Then proceeds to act like he really is the expert... I doubt any one of the famous names we all know are half the talent anyone thinks. Just assholes willing to take credit for other's work.

Wow, that ad really was jarring. The problem is that RU-vid has plenty of marketing people who analyze the market and try to determine the "right" (ie, tolerable) amount of ads for videos. If creators are inserting more ads than the standard fare, they're likely to lose more than they gain. Unless you think you're smarter than a multi-billion company that specializes in monetization through ads, this kind of stuff will only continue to backfire. I'm not entitled or mad about it, it's just a reality that not all kinds of content or levels of hard work will bring in revenue. That's just a reality of earning a living through entertainment. Tick off your audience TOO much, and they will leave. I don't want to see that happen.

Lost me at the ad mid-through.

Ad in the middle of the video might be the end of my watching your videos.

2 minute ad in the middle of the bloody video? 30 seconds was bad enough, but two damn minutes? You had them on the end for a reason, and it worked for me. I'll keep watching your videos, but will dislike every single video that has an ad in the centre.

Frankly, I thought the video was over when the add started then realized that it wasn't

You should show what you're talking about, like the animated hand and the demon logo. Where are they?

Quit plugging your sponsors half way through. At the start or at the end. In the middle just makes you look like right sellouts

I pay for RU-vid red so I don't see the regular ads. I don't mind RU-vid channels doing ads themselves. Please do not put them in the middle.

Bonus Fact... He made a lot of money, then he died...LOL

would have finished the video but that ad killed my interest in this

The Utah Clue: Ivan Sutherland. One of the first seven nodes on ARPAnet. Bigleague USAF contractor doing graphics for aircraft simulators. This started out reeeally dumb: in 1970 they "flew" by positioning a video camera over an endless band of 4' x 8' sheets of plywood painted green with little buildings on them. Very rapidly, Sutherland being a bright lad, they created the videos in data, and on to the story above...

To clear this up "Futureworld" was the first movie to use 3D computer animation. Its progenitor, "Westworld" was the first movie to use computer animation -- albeit 2D

4:11 when he saw them... he saw something... truly special... (Star Wars reference)

You completely missed the fact that Disney used the Commodore Amiga system to actually produce the world's first computer animated feature length movie - Beauty and the Beast. While it was not totally computer generated (despite being marketed as if it were) it was a major breakthrough in animation.

Wow, Simon embedded an ad for tunnelbear in the video. After it ended, within 10 seconds, youtube inserted an ad. I just witnessed the peak of youtube and it now in decline.

Why don't you have the commercials at the end of the tunnel.

Talks about John Lasseter's FreeBSD logo.. proceeds to not show it! #Editing

Oh I get it! If you say, "Vamos a Pixar la cosa." Totally makes sense.

You forgot to say that Jobs finally sold Pixar to Disney for 7.4 billions and that Lassiter returned to Disney, the same studio that fired him for insisting in CGI as the future of movie making.

Is all that hand gesture to show of the 60 fps?

Today i found out using the downvote button is the only thing i can do when the sponsorship read happens in the middle of a video, rather than the beginning or the end. Seriously, i'd rather have an option to donate on patreon or similar to not have these baked in ads, rather than having to try and skip through them when there is no visual cue when they're over like on LTT or other channels doing them.

I was going to watch this video, but the tunnel bear shit made me try to skip forward, but then i got lost so now i'm leaving this comment and abandoning the video. Nice job.

As soon as the ad came on, I left the entire video and didn't bother to see the end.

Great videos and love to watch but for the love of pete, QUIT PUTTING ADS IN THE MIDDLE!!!!! These have become so annoying I am about to unsubscribe. Ads at the begining, or ads at the end, STOP INTERUPTING THE STORY FOR A GD AD!!!!!

Those who don't like all the ads, you have two options: support them on Patreon so that they don't need ads or stop watching. It is that simple. No reason to be a baby and cry about it. Grow and start making decisions for yourselves without involving others.

tunnelbear ad featuring some pixar history

That bit about FreeBSD blew my mind!

Now _there's_ a guy you should do a segment on. Ross Perot! What ever happened to that guy? :)

Today I found out that if you watch today I found out from now on, you will get a giant advertisement that is 10x longer than it needs to be in the *middle* of the clip...

I will never use that service because of the minutes that you stole from me with that horribly sneaky Ad

I always enjoy your company but, this video is like being on a merry-go-round that won't stop for me to get off

Quite a nice, informative video on yet another topic I never knew I wanted to know about - the thing TIFO is know for and does really well. But, like many other commenters, not a fan of the mid-video ad. Of course it's not hard to skip past, so unfortunately for the sponsor, this format does not work either. It just makes it a bit harder for us viewers to enjoy what would otherwise have been a great video

The ads in the middle need to stop.

I get it. You need to get paid, but the ball sucking advert half way through is the way. Unsubscribing D:

Today I found out I have to watch ads in order to just end up watching more ads and all for free... YAY!

If this were a Photography-based web page, I'd tell "The Angry Photographer" about this "add overexposure." Now back to the action now that Tunnel Bear has left the page...

If these mid-video promos don't stop soon, you're going to lose a subscriber. Dislike counts are going to go up too and more people will desert.

That ad in the middle was far too long, if this is continues I'm unsubscribing.

Dropped you at Tunnelbear ad ... look a squirrel takes over.

Aww, I had a NeXT computer while at University. Postscript was the default screen format! It was a prototype model, but weren't they all? I recall long boot up time, slow hard-drive access but a beautiful screen! University of Washington Electrical Engineering was working on a color version, but that went south.

Huge fan of your channel. Stopped watching after the bear add in the middle. Moving on.

That greasy spoon is still there

...What you described at 5:20 is a proxy not a vpn. A vpn links multiple devices across the internet to a single local network, allowing them to share files and discover/connect with each other as if they were on the same network. Where as a proxy is a server that makes connections to other servers on your behalf so that the servers you are connecting to (as well as someone snooping) see the connections coming from the proxy instead of you: Ex [you -> proxy -> facebook.com]

This was a very convoluted story, but interesting none the less.

Not FreeBSD, but the BSDs in general, even if Beastie is most strongly associated with FreeBSD. Beastie's first incarnation was actually for 4.2BSD.

The ad in the middle was annoying :p

What does flak do to an airplaine?
