Ed Catmull (born 1945) is an American computer scientist and former president of Pixar.
The early days of Pixar were technology people like Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith, who really wanted to make movies with computers but didn't have the artistic skill themselves. So they brought on people like John Lasseter, who had the animation skill and experience.
