Pixar
Pixar Animation Studios is an American animation studio renowned for producing some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful animated films in cinema history.
Founded in 1986 after Steve Jobs acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm, Pixar revolutionised filmmaking by releasing ‘Toy Story’ in 1995, the world’s first fully computer-animated feature film. Since then, the studio has consistently combined technological innovation with emotionally rich storytelling in films including ‘Finding Nemo’, ‘The Incredibles’, ‘Up’, ‘Inside Out’ and ‘Coco’.
Acquired by the Walt Disney Company in 2006, Pixar has received numerous Academy Awards while continuing to influence the global animation industry through its pioneering techniques, memorable characters and commitment to original storytelling.
