Pixar Animation Studios

Pixar Animation Studios is an Academy Award-winning computer-animated film studio and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. Founded in 1986 and based in Emeryville, California, the studio produces feature films and develops computer graphics technology. Its output includes Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, WALL-E, Up, Inside Out and Coco, among the most commercially successful computer-animated features made to date.

Technical work spans computer graphics, computer animation, rendering software, film production and creative storytelling. Pixar researchers developed RenderMan, rendering software that has become an industry standard, and, before the studio's founding, created the Genesis Effect, a groundbreaking computer graphics sequence for Star Trek II. The studio employs artists, technologists and storytellers working together on the same productions.

Pixar's working culture is built around creative collaboration, technical excellence and psychological safety. Its "Braintrust" system gives directors candid feedback from peers within a supportive setting, and the studio states a commitment to originality, inclusion and diversity.
