Never had a flop? Guess we forgot about The Good Dinosaur. Many people consider that to have flopped.

Wait, the good dinosaur didn’t flop? Did anyone actually like that movie? I love Pixar, but I hated that movie.

114,240 frames in Toy Story times 30 hours = 3427200 hours or 142800 days or 391 years. Hmmm, i guess they used a lot of computers at once..

yep, that's called a rendering farm

EmBeRboy
"It took upto 30 hours to render one frame of toy story" is bullshit for sure, think they ment 1 second of the movie...
whatsisname
It's possible. It's not like they used just one computer for rendering. Also, Toy Story was 1995.
Barbatus
The Good Dinosaur grossed less then 150.
Kaitou
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=pixar2013.htm Correct. This post is super old.
Electrode232
These images were probably made before The Good Dinosaur released.
Barbatus
Possibly. That's one of the big problems with these fact collage's, they usually don't come with a source.
Barbatus
Think you're right. Only Finding Dory, Cars 3 and Coco came out after the Good Dinosaur and I don't see those amongst the pictures.
Slappadabass93
Not Pixar
Jijamesers
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Dinosaur
Barbatus
It is.
Slappadabass93
My bad for some reason my half awoken brain only processed that as "Dinosaur" as in http://movies.disney.com/dinosaur
Barbatus
It happens.
jasgstock
Indeed it is. But it grossed $330B, so original statement is correct.
Barbatus
The original statement says 'never earned less then 150 in the usa per film. Your numbers are for worldwide.
Barbatus
Besides, the total costs were 350 including marketing so actually it cost more.
jasgstock
Actually I was wrong - the statement just referred to the US, not worldwide. $330B was worldwide.
SJohnson23
So it grossed somewhere from under $150.00 to $330,000,000,000.00 - that’s quite a range.

It's also not very good. But the weird scene with the dinosaur that collects critters... Amazing!

You can decorate your cubical with five pieces of flair from the company approved flair box. Cost to be docked from your check.
fluhatinrapper
Hmm, only 5 pieces of flaire? You don't want to just do the minimum, do you?
McPuffinStuff
You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you make the minimum 37...

It's a bigger cube so employees can live at their work place. Notice the fun facts about how many hours it takes to make one film?

I think I need a source on the whole "Toy Story 2 was almost deleted, but was saved by a backup on a home computer".

Backups failed for a month but it would take 30 people a year to recreate what was lost?I'm trying to do the math but running out of fingers

Ed Catmull wrote a book called Creativity Inc. & mentioned it in that book. Their backups failed, & an employee on maternity leave saved it

It was an animator, rather than a random person who had it, which is implied there

So, their automatic backups were silently failing? Sounds about right. I discovered that in my workplace a few months ago.
Akeemindeface
ALWAYS TEST BACKUPS, not just confirming they are completed.
SaltyInternetPirate
Which reminds me, I should really check if they're running normally.
spetcnaz
As a sys admin, this is the nightmare that keeps me awake at nights. False positive backups. All logs show that everything is OK but when
spetcnaz
you need it, wham, corrupt files or none existant. Our in house developer made this software called Reevert, makes my job easier. It takes
spetcnaz
auto snapshots of whatever resides in its file system or whatever you point it to, and the snapshots are not visible to the Windows side
tablecat
It's not considered a backup if it's not tested regularly.
SaltyInternetPirate
Well, maybe I could try to setup an automatic notification if the new backup files aren't detected at a certain hour. But that can fail, too
tablecat
Even if the files are detected, they could be corrupted or something else, and one wouldn't know before it's too late. Happened to me ):
JHawke
Then... do it the other way around. Make it mail you if it DID succeed. And just in case, run a script that reminds you if you haven't >
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Ah so it wasn't just a backup but someone's mom. It was an employee bringing home a copy. That makes a lot more sense.
CossackHD

SaltyInternetPirate
"requests blocked on this page 59 or 47%". Holy fuck!
supersomatic
Its likely that the final render was deleted. It would have been annoying and costly to rerender, certainly, but its not *gone*.
spetcnaz
Exactly. It would be a costly re render
RepostFromLastWeek
I was skeptical too and looked it up, someone deleted all the assets on a network share. Also backups were shite.
eddytor
Yup I was thinking the same. Even with 1 person doing the animation, 1 for the render, and 1 for the editing, you can’t lose everything.
SightlierGravy
Except they really did lose almost all of their assets. They had backups of course but they were faulty and missing 10% of the data.

HappyEngineer
Why was she was described as a mom, not just an employee?
jennsbern
Because people are gits.
drmfreek
Well, it was because she was a new mom and working from home that she had backups at all.
Altanese
Because she's a woman and that's how society be.
WholesomeDucky
I like how this bullshit got upvoted when there's a perfectly logical explanation right below it.
Altanese
Even if she was a new mother and it is relevant to the story, why would she not be listed as an employee?
HappyEngineer
It's not bullshit, just not relevant this time. Women have to deal with all sorts of condescending shit. https://twitter.com/manwhohasitall
Patient00
True reason she is called a mom is that she was working home from her computer since she had a baby. Then her computer had files.
TurtlesAreMyFriends
xkcd made fun of things like that. "Dad cures cancer" instead of calling him a Dr. Ect.
th1841
Because the reason it was on her home computer was that she had just had a baby and was working from home.
Altanese
Even if it is relevant, why not list her as an employee? This context is not given and the story is one sentence.
Hammerhead777
You just want to be offended, don't you? You've posted 7 comments about the same tiny detail so far.
Altanese
I've posted a couple and replied to other peoples replies. Does this make eight in your books?
HappyEngineer
That's true, it only makes sense if you know the whole story. Still, they could easily have made the same mistake with a 'father' story.
BearForceTwo
because the person that made this didn't want a wall of tiny text on the picture and made a choice. don't seek sexism where it doesn't exist
Altanese
My question is why choose mother over employee? Without the context, you know she is the former, but not the latter which is more important.
HappyEngineer
That makes more sense, thanks
turk187
Because that's why she was working from home. Is important to this story.
dark12
No it isn't.
Altanese
But they don't explain that, so why not list her as an employee?
