To Infinity!
飛越太空！
There were two premieres of Toy Story in November 1995.
1995年11月，《玩具總動員》共舉行了兩場首映式。
Disney organized one at El Capitan, a grand old theater in Los Angeles, and built a fun house next door featuring the characters.
迪士尼在洛杉磯的埃爾卡皮坦大劇院舉辦了一場，還在隔壁建了一個游樂屋，展示所有的電影角色。
Pixar was given a handful of passes, but the evening and its celebrity guest list was very much a Disney production; Jobs did not even attend.
皮克斯也有一些入場券，但是當晚的活動和邀請嘉賓的名單基本都是迪士尼決定的。喬布斯甚至都沒去參加。
Instead, the next night he rented the Regency, a similar theater in San Francisco, and held his own premiere.
第二天晚上，喬布斯在舊金山租用了與前者不相上下的雷根西劇院，舉辦了他自己的首映式。
Instead of Tom Hanks and Steve Martin, the guests were Silicon Valley celebrities, such as Larry Ellison and Andy Grove.
到場嘉賓不再是湯姆·漢克斯和史蒂夫·馬丁這些影星，而是硅谷的那些大腕：拉里·埃利森、安迪·格魯夫。
This was clearly Jobs's show; he, not Lasseter, took the stage to introduce the movie.
很顯然這是一場史蒂夫的演出，他，而不是拉塞特占據了舞臺，向觀眾介紹影片。
The dueling premieres highlighted a festering issue: Was Toy Story a Disney or a Pixar movie?
這種雙首映式的安排凸顯出一個日益嚴重的問題。《玩具總動員》到底是一部迪士尼電影還是一部皮克斯電影？
Was Pixar merely an animation contractor helping Disney make movies?
皮克斯只是幫助迪士尼制作電影的動畫承包商嗎？
Or was Disney merely a distributor and marketer helping Pixar roll out its movies?
抑或是，迪士尼只是幫助皮克斯出品電影的發行商和營銷商？
The answer was somewhere in between.
正確的答案在某個折中位置。
The question would be whether the egos involved, mainly those of Michael Eisner and Steve Jobs, could get to such a partnership.
問題是其中牽涉到的大腕們，主要是邁克爾·艾斯納和史蒂夫·喬布斯，能否達成這樣的合作關系。
