Tell about Pixar ?

hi

Pixar was originally started as a division of Lucasfilm in 1979.

The division was generically named Computer Graphics Division.

In 1986, Steve Jobs bought Computer Graphics Division from George Lucas for $5 million and renamed it Pixar.

In 2006, Disney bought Pixar for $7.4 billion.

Pixar's first animated short The Adventures of André and Wally B. was produced in 1984.

Pixar's iconic lamp mascot is named Luxo Jr., and it is named after a 1986 short of the same name.

As a way to both market its animation software and generate money, Pixar produced commercials for various companies including: Tropicana, Listerine, and Lifesavers.

In 1991, Pixar signed a three-film contract with Disney. The first movie they were to produce for them was Toy Story.

In 1993, Disney almost shut down production of Toy Story because they found Woody to be too much of a "sarcastic jerk."

Fearing the film would be shut down, the film's director John Lasseter and the film's writers completely rewrote the script and "fixed" Woody in less than a week.

Pixar was originally started as a division of Lucasfilm in 1979.

Woody's facial features are slightly based on a talking Casper the Friendly Ghost doll that Lasseter had as a kid.

Pixar Animation Studios, commonly referred to as Pixar (/ˈpɪksɑːr/), is an American computer animation film studio based in Emeryville, California, that is a subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios, owned by the Walt Disney Company.

The deal also made Jobs Disney's largest individual shareholder.

Pixar began in 1979 as the Graphics Group, part of the Lucasfilm computer division, before its spin-out as a corporation in 1986, with funding by Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs, who became the majority shareholder.

Pixar's first animated short The Adventures of André and Wally B. was produced in 1984.

Pixar was formed in 1979, and soon after became the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm.

Known simply as “The Computer Graphics Division,” Pixar in its early days produced computer animation sequences for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983), and Young Sherlock Holmes (1985).

Disney purchased Pixar in 2006 at a valuation of $7.4 billion by converting each share of Pixar stock to 2.3 shares of Disney stock,[4][5] a transaction that resulted in Jobs becoming Disney's largest single shareholder at the time.

Pixar initially sold high-end computer imaging software and hardware such as the Pixar Image Computer.

Pixar is best known for CGI-animated feature films created with RenderMan, Pixar's own implementation of the industry-standard RenderMan image-rendering application programming interface, used to generate high-quality images.
