Pixar Animation Studios, orsimply Pixar(/pksr/), is an

American computer animationfilm

studiobased inEmeryville, California. The

studio is best known for itsCGI-animated

feature films created with PhotoRealistic

RenderMan, its own implementation of the

industry-standard RenderManimage-

rendering application programming interface

used to generate high-quality images. Pixar

began in 1979 as the Graphics Group, partof the computer division ofLucasfilmbefore

its spin-out as a corporation in 1986 with

funding byApple Inc.co-founder Steve

Jobs, who became its majority

shareholder.[1]The Walt Disney

Companybought Pixar in 2006 at a

valuation of $7.4 billion, a transaction which

made Jobs Disney's largest shareholder.

Luxo Jr., a character from anearly Pixar film,

Pixar has produced fourteen feature films,

beginning with Toy Story(1995) and its most

recent Monsters University(2013). All of the

films have received both critical and financial

success, with thenotableexception

being Cars 2(2011), which,while

commercially successful, received

substantially less praise than Pixar's other productions.[2]All fourteen films have debuted

with CinemaScoreratings of at least "A-", indicating a positive reception with audiences.[3]The

studio has also produced severalshort films. As of December 2013, its feature films have

made over $8.5 billion worldwide,[4]with an average worldwide gross of $607 million per

film.[5]Both Finding Nemo(2003) and Toy Story 3(2010) are among the 50 highest-grossing

filmsof all time, and all of Pixar's films are among the 50 highest-grossing animated films, with

the latter being the 2nd all-time highest, just behind Disney'sFrozen, grossing over $1 billion

worldwide.

The studio has earned 27Academy Awards, seven Golden Globe Awards, and

eleven Grammy Awards, among many other awards and acknowledgments. Since the award's

inauguration in 2001, most of Pixar's films have been nominated for theAcademy Award for

Best Animated Feature, with seven winning: Finding Nemo(2003), The

Incredibles(2004),Ratatouille(2007), WALL-E(2008), Up(2009), Toy Story 3(2010),

andBrave(2012). Monsters, Inc.(2001) and Cars(2006) are the only two just being

nominated for the award. Upand Toy Story 3were the second and third animated films to be

nominated for theAcademy Award for Best Picture(the first being Beauty and the Beast). On

History [edit]

Early history [edit]

Pixar was founded as The Graphics Group, which was

one third of the Computer Division ofLucasfilmthat was

launched in 1979 with the hiring of Dr. Ed Catmullfrom

the New York Institute of Technology(NYIT),[6]where

he was in charge of the Computer Graphics

Lab(CGL). At NYIT, the researchers pioneered many

of the CG foundation techniquesin particular the

invention of the "alpha channel" (by Catmull andAlvyRay Smith);[7]years later the CGL produced an

experimental film calledThe Works. After moving to

Lucasfilm, the team worked on creating the precursor

to RenderMan, called REYES (for "renders everything

you ever saw"); and developed a number of critical

technologies for CGincluding "particle effects" and

various animation tools.

In 1982, the team began working on film sequences

with Industrial Light & Magicon special effects.[6]After

years of research, and key milestones in films such as theGenesis Effect inStar Trek II: The Wrath of Khanand the

Stained Glass Knight in Young Sherlock Holmes,[6]the

group, which numbered 40 individuals back then,[1]was

spun out as a corporation in February 1986 with

investment by Steve Jobs shortly after he leftApple

Computer.[1]Jobs paid $5 million to George Lucas for

technology rights and put them and $5 million cash as

capital into the company.[1]A factor contributing to Lucas'

sale was an increase in cash flow difficulties following his

1983 divorce, which coincided with the sudden dropoff in revenues from Star Warslicenses

following the release of Return of the Jedi. The newly independent company was headed by

Dr. Edwin Catmull as President and Dr. Alvy Ray Smithas Executive Vice President. They

were joined on the Board of Directors by Steve Jobs who was Chairman.[1]

Initially, Pixar was a high-end computer hardware company whose core product was the Pixar

Image Computer, a system primarily sold to government agencies and the medical community.

One of the buyers of Pixar Image Computers was Walt Disney Studios, which was using it as

part of their secretive CAPSproject, using the machine and custom software written by Pixar

to migrate the laborious ink and paint part of the 2-D animation process to a more automated

method. The Image Computer never sold well.[8]In a bid to drive sales of the system, Pixar

employeeJohn Lasseterwho had long been creating short demonstration animations, such

as Luxo Jr., to show off the device's capabilitiespremiered his creations at SIGGRAPH, the

computer graphics industry's largest convention, to great fanfare.[8]

Inadequate sales of Pixar's computers threatened to put the company out of business as

financial losses grew. Jobs invested more and more money in exchange for an increasing

portion of the company, reducing the fraction of ownership by the management and

employees until after several years he owned essentially all the company for a total investment

of $50 million. Lasseter's animation department began producing computer-animated

commercials for outside companies. Early successes included campaigns

for Tropicana, Listerine, and Life Savers.[9]In April 1990 Pixar sold its hardware division,

including all proprietary hardware technology and imaging software, to Vicom Systems, and

transferred 18 of Pixar's approximately 100 employees. The same year Pixar moved from San

Rafael to Richmond, California.[10]During this period, Pixar continued its successful

relationship with Walt Disney Feature Animation, a studio whose corporate parent would

ultimately become its most important partner. In 1991, after a tough start of the year when

about 30 employees in the company's computer department were dismissed (including the

company's president, Chuck Kolstad),[11]which reduced the total number of employees to just

42, essentially its original number,[12]Pixar made a $26 million deal with Disney to produce

three computer-animated feature films, the first of which was Toy Story. At that point, the

software programmers, who were doing RenderMan and CAPS, and Lasseters animation

department, who made television commercials, some 3-D Stings for Nickelodeon, and a few

shorts for Sesame Street, was all that was left of Pixar.[13]

Despite the total income of these products, the company was still losing money, and Jobs, still

chairman of the board and now the full owner, often considered selling it. Even as late as

1994, Jobs contemplated selling Pixar to other companies, among them Microsoft. Only after

learning from New York critics that Toy Storywas probably going to be a success and

confirming that Disney would distribute it for the 1995 Christmas season did he decide to give

Pixar another chance.[14]He also began then for the first time to take an active direct

leadership role in the company, making himself its CEO. The film went on to gross more than

$361 million worldwide.[15]Later that year, Pixar held its initial public offeringon November 29,

1995, and the company's stock was priced at US$22 per share.[16]

During the 1990s and 2000s, Pixar gradually developed the "Pixar Braintrust," the studio's

primary creative development process, in which all directors, writers, and lead storyboardartists at the studio look at each other's projects on a regular basis and give each other very

candid "notes" (the industry term for constructive criticism).[17]The Braintrust operates under a

philosophy of a "filmmaker-driven studio", in which creatives help each other move their films

forward through a process somewhat like peer review, as opposed to the traditional Hollywood

approach of an "executive-driven studio" in which directors are micromanagedthrough

"mandatory notes" from development executives ranking above the

producers.[18][18][19]According to Catmull, it evolved out of the working relationship between

Lasseter, Stanton, Docter, Unkrich, and Joe RanftonToy Story.[17]

As a result of the success of Toy Story, Pixar built a new studio in Emeryville which opened in

November 2000.

Disney [edit]

Pixar and Disney had disagreements after the production of Toy Story 2. Originally intended

as a straight-to-video release (and thus not part of Pixar's three-picture deal), the film was

eventually upgraded to a theatrical release during production. Pixar demanded that the film

then be counted toward the three-picture agreement, but Disney refused.[20]Though profitable

for both, Pixar later complained that the arrangement was not equitable. Pixar was responsible

for creation and production, while Disney handled marketingand distribution. Profits and

production costs were split 50-50, but Disney exclusively owned all story and sequel rights and

also collected a distribution fee. The lack of story and sequel rights was perhaps the most

onerous aspect to Pixar and set the stage for a contentious relationship.[21]

The two companies attempted to reach a new agreement in early 2004. The new deal wouldbe only for distribution, as Pixar intended to control production and own the resulting film

properties themselves. The company also wanted to finance their films on their own and

collect 100 percent of the profits, paying Disney only the 10 to 15 percent distribution

fee.[22]More importantly, as part of any distribution agreement with Disney, Pixar demanded

control over films already in production under their old agreement, including The

Incrediblesand Cars. Disney considered these conditions unacceptable, but Pixar would not

concede.[22]

Disagreements between Steve Jobsand then-Disney Chairman and CEOMichael

Eisnermade the negotiations more difficult than they otherwise might have been. They broke

down completely in mid-2004, with Jobs declaring that Pixar was actively seeking partnersother than Disney.[23]Despite this announcement, Pixar did not enter negotiations with other

distributors. After a lengthy hiatus, negotiations between the two companies resumed following

the departure of Eisner from Disney in September 2005. In preparation for potential fallout

between Pixar and Disney, Jobs announced in late 2004 that Pixar would no longer release

movies at the Disney-dictated November time frame, but during the more lucrative early

summer months. This would also allow Pixar to release DVDs for their major releases during

the Christmas shopping season. An added benefit of delaying Carswas to extend the time

frame remaining on the Pixar-Disney contract to see how things would play out between the

two companies.[24]

Pending the Disney acquisition of Pixar, the two companies created a distribution deal for theintended 2007 release of Ratatouille, if the acquisition fell through, to ensure that this one film

would still be released through Disney's distribution channels. (In contrast to the earlier

Disney/Pixar deal, Ratatouillewas to remain a Pixar property and Disney would have received

only a distribution fee.) The completion of Disney's Pixar acquisition, however, nullified this

distribution arrangement.[25]

Disney ultimately agreed to buy Pixar for approximately $7.4 billion in an all-stock

deal.[26]Following Pixar shareholderapproval, the acquisition was completed May 5, 2006.

The transaction catapulted Steve Jobs, who was the majority shareholder of Pixar with 50.1%,

to Disney's largest individual shareholder with 7% and a new seat on its board of

directors.[27]Jobs' new Disney holdings exceeded holdings belonging to ex-CEO Michael

Eisner, the previous top shareholder, who still held 1.7%; and Disney Director Emeritus Roy E.

Disney, who held almost 1% of the corporation's shares.

Pixar shareholders received 2.3 shares of Disney common stock for each share of Pixar

common stock redeemed.

As part of the deal, John Lasseter, by then Executive Vice President, became Chief Creative

Officer(reporting to President and CEO Robert Igerand consulting with Disney Director Roy E.

Disney) of both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios(including its division, DisneyToon

Studios), as well as the Principal Creative Adviser at Walt Disney Imagineering, which designs

and builds the company's theme parks.[27]Catmull retained his position as President of Pixar,

while also becoming President of Walt Disney Animation Studios, reporting to Bob Iger

and Dick Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studio Entertainment. Steve Jobs' position as Pixar's

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer was also removed, and instead he took a place on the

Disney board of directors.[28]

After the deal closed in May, Lasseter revealed that Iger had realized Disney needed to buy

Pixar while watching a parade at the opening ofHong Kong Disneylandin September

2005.[29]Iger noticed that of all the Disney characters in the parade, not one was a character

that Disney had created within the last ten years, since all the newer ones had been created

by Pixar.[29]Lasseter and Catmull were understandably wary when the topic of Disney buying

Pixar first came up, but Jobs asked them to give Iger a chance (based on his own experience

negotiating with Iger in summer 2005 for the rights toABCshows for the fifth-generation iPod

Classic),[30]

and in turn, Iger convinced them of the sincerity of his epiphany that Disney reallyneeded to re-focus on animation.[29]

Lasseter and Catmull's oversight of both the Disney and

Pixar studios did not mean that the two studios were

merging, however. In fact, additional conditions were laid

out as part of the deal to ensure that Pixar remained a

separate entity, a concern that analysts had expressed

about the Disney deal.[31]Some of those conditions were

that Pixar HRpolicies would remain intact, including the

lack of employment contracts. Also, the Pixar name was

guaranteed to continue, and the studio would remain in itscurrent Emeryville, Californialocation with the "Pixar" sign.

Finally, branding of films made post-merger would be

"DisneyPixar" (beginning with Cars).[32]

Jim Morris, producer of WALL-E, became general manager of Pixar. In this new position,

Morris took charge of the day-to-day running of the studio facilities and products. [33]

After a few years, Lasseter and Catmull were able to successfully transfer the basic principles

of the Pixar Braintrust to Disney, although meetings of the Disney Story Trust are reportedly

somewhat "more polite" than those of the Pixar Braintrust.[34]Catmull later explained that after

the merger, to maintain the studios' separate identities and cultures (notwithstanding the fact

of common ownership and common senior management), he and Lasseter "drew a hard line"

that each studio was solely responsible for its own projects and would not be allowed to borrow

personnel from or lend tasks out to the other.[35][36]That rule ensures that each studio

maintains "local ownership" of projects and can be proud of its own work.[35][36]Thus, for

example, when Pixar had issues with Ratatouille(2007) and Disney had issues

with Bolt(2008), "nobody bailed them out" and each studio was required "to solve the problem

on its own" even when they knew there were personnel at the other studio who theoretically

could have helped.[35][36]

Expansion [edit]

On April 20, 2010, Pixar Animation Studios opened Pixar Canadain the downtown area

of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[37]The roughly 2,000 square meters studio produced

seven short films based on Toy Storyand Carscharacters. In October 2013, the studio was

closed down to refocus Pixar's efforts at its main headquarters.[38]

Feature films and shorts [edit]

Traditions [edit]

While some of Pixar's first animators were former cel animators, including John Lasseter, they

also came from stop motionanimation and/orcomputer animationor were fresh college

graduates.[6]A large number of animators that make up the animation department at Pixar

were hired around the time Pixar releasedA Bug's Lifeand Toy Story 2. Although ToyStorywas a successful film, it was Pixar's only feature film at the time. The majority of the

animation industry was, and is still located in Los Angeles, California, while Pixar is located

350 miles (560 km) north in the San Francisco Bay Area. Also, traditional 2-D animation was

still the dominant medium for feature animated films.

With the dearth of Los Angeles-based animators willing to move their families so far north,

give up traditional animation, and try computer animation, Pixar's new-hires at this time either

came directly from college, or had worked outside feature animation. For those who had

traditional animation skills, the Pixar animation software (Marionette)is designed so that

traditional animators would require a minimum amount of training before becoming

productive.[6]

In an interview with PBStalk show host Tavis Smiley,[39]Lasseter said that Pixar films follow

the same theme of self-improvement as the company itself has: with the help of friends or

family, a character ventures out into the real world and learns to appreciate his friends and

family. At the core, Lasseter said, "it's gotta be about the growth of the main character, and

how he changes."[39]

One particular tradition has been a part of every Pixar feature film produced for DisneyJohn

Ratzenberger(formerly of Cheers) has voiced characters (even if it's a cameo) from Toy

Storyto Monsters University. Pixar paid tribute to their "good luck charm" in the end credits

of Carswhere internal parodies of three of their films are seen with Ratzenberger voicing therespective characters. His punchline in the epilogue was "What kind of cut-rate production is

this?"

Due to the traditions that have occurred within the film, suchanthropomorphicanimals

and Easter Eggcrossovers between movies that have been spotted by fans, in 2013 a blog

post by the name The Pixar Theorywas published making the argument that all of the

characters withinthe Pixar universewere related.[40][41][42]

Sequels and prequels [edit]

Toy Story 2was originally commissioned by Disney as a 60-minute direct-to-videorelease.

Expressing doubts about the strength of the material,John Lasseterconvinced the Pixar teamto start from scratch and make the sequel their third full-length feature film.

Following the release of Toy Story 2in 1999, Pixar and Disney had agentlemen's

agreementthat Disney would not make any sequels without Pixar's involvement, despite their

right to do so. In 2004, after Disney and Pixar were unable to agree on a new deal, Disney

announced plans to move forward on sequels with or without Pixar, and put Toy Story 3into

pre-production at Disney's new CGI division, Circle 7 Animation. However, when Lasseter was

placed in charge of all Disney and Pixar animation following the 2006 merger of the

companies, he put all sequels on hold andToy Story 3was cancelled. In May 2006, it was

announced that Toy Story 3was back in pre-production, with a new plot and under Pixar's

control. The film was released on June 18, 2010.

Shortly after announcing the resurrection of Toy Story 3, Lasseter fueled speculation on

further sequels by saying, "If we have a great story, we'll do a sequel."[43]Cars 2, Pixar's first

non-Toy Storysequel, was officially announced in April 2008 and released on June 24,

2011. Monsters University, a prequelto Monsters, Inc., was announced in April 2010 and

initially set for release in November 2012;[44]the release date was pushed to June 21, 2013,

due to Pixar's past success with summer releases, according to a Disney executive.[45]In June

2011, Tom Hanks, who voicedWoodyin Toy Story, implied that Toy Story 4was "in the

works", but this has not been confirmed by the studio.[46][47]In April 2013, a sequel toFinding

Nemo, Finding Dory, was announced for June 17, 2016.[48]In March 2014, The Incredibles

2and Cars 3were announced as films in development.[49]

Adaptation to television [edit]

Toy Storywas the first Pixar film to be adapted onto television, with Buzz Lightyear of Star

Commandfilmand TV series. Carsbecame the second with the help of Cars Toons, a series

of three-to-five-minute short films running between regular Disney Channelshows and

featuring Mater(the tow truck voiced by comedian Larry the Cable Guy).[50]In 2013, Pixar

released its first television special, Toy Story of Terror!.[51]

Animation and live-action [edit]

All Pixar films to date have been computer-animated features, but WALL-Eso far has been the

only Pixar film to not be completely animated, as it featured a small element of live-action

footage. 1906, the live-action film byBrad Birdbased on a screenplay and novel by James

Dalessandro about the 1906 earthquake, is in development. Bird has stated that he was

"interested in moving into the live-action realm with some projects" while "staying at Pixar

[because] it's a very comfortable environment for me to work in."

Upcoming projects [edit]
