From Toy Story to Inside Out — characters, voices and firsts from Pixar Animation Studios.
Pixar Animation Studios began as a division of Lucasfilm in 1979, later becoming an independent company in 1986 after being purchased by Steve Jobs. Its groundbreaking achievement was the release of "Toy Story" in 1995, the world's first feature-length computer-animated film. Directed by John Lasseter, it introduced iconic characters like Sheriff Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, and Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen, setting a new standard for animation and storytelling. The film's critical and commercial success immediately established Pixar as a major force in the film industry.
Since its debut, Pixar has captivated audiences with memorable characters, diverse settings, and emotionally rich narratives. Films like "Finding Nemo," "Monsters, Inc.," and "Inside Out" explore imaginative worlds from underwater realms to the human mind, featuring beloved characters and the talents of renowned voice actors. Pixar's ability to blend humor with profound themes has become a hallmark, consistently pushing the boundaries of animated storytelling while exploring universal experiences.
The studio, which became a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, has received widespread critical acclaim, earning 23 Academy Awards, 10 Golden Globe Awards, and 11 Grammy Awards. Eleven Pixar films have won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, with "Toy Story 3" and "Up" even nominated for Best Picture. Recent successes include "Inside Out 2" (2024), which became one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, and the upcoming "Toy Story 5" scheduled for 2026, alongside "Elio" in 2025 which received an Oscar nomination.
