The Pixar Story 8 p.m., CNBC

Ah, Pixar, blessed Pixar. You brought heart and wit back to the movies. Has this remarkable animation studio made a bad film yet? I can’t think of one. I can think of plenty of great ones, though: “Finding Nemo,’’ “The Incredibles,’’ “A Bug’s Life,’’ “Ratatouille,’’ and of course, the “Toy Story’’ series (pictured), especially “Toy Story 2.’’ Even less-than-great Pixar flicks (“Cars,’’ say, or “Monsters Inc.’’) are better than most of what’s out there at the multiplex at any given time. CNBC takes a look at Pixar’s development and interviews John Lasseter, Brad Bird, and other key players.
