History

Early history

Pixar's studio lot in Emeryville.

Pixar was founded as the Graphics Group, one third of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm that was launched in 1979 with the hiring of Dr. Ed Catmull from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). Lucasfilm Limited' is an American Film production company founded by George Lucas in 1971, based in San Francisco California Edwin Catmull, PhD (born 1945 in Parkersburg, West Virginia) is an Academy Award winning Computer scientist and current president of Walt The New York Institute of Technology (also known as NYIT and New York Tech) is a private co-educational college in New York in the USA. [1] At NYIT, the researchers worked on an experimental film called The Works. The Works was to be the first entirely 3D computer animated Film, created by the Computer Graphics Lab, but it was never completed When the group moved to Lucasfilm, the team worked on creating the precursor to RenderMan, called Motion Doctor, which allowed traditional cel animators to use computer animation with minimal training. RenderMan Interface Specification, or RISpec in short is an API developed by Pixar Animation Studios to describe three dimensional scenes and turn them into digital Traditional animation, also referred to as classical animation, cel animation, or hand-drawn animation, is the oldest and historically the most popular [1]

Eventually, the team began working on film sequences, produced by Lucasfilm, or worked collectively with Industrial Light and Magic on special effects. Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM) is a motion picture Visual effects company that was founded in May 1975 by George Lucas and is owned [1] After years of research, and key milestones in films such as Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Young Sherlock Holmes,[1] the group was purchased in 1986 by Steve Jobs shortly after he left Apple Computer (the company he founded with Steve Wozniak). Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan is the second feature film based on the Star Trek Science fiction Television series, following Young Sherlock Holmes ( 1985) directed by Barry Levinson and written by Chris Columbus, depicts a young Sherlock Holmes and Steven Paul Jobs (born February 24 1955 is the Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc and former CEO of Pixar Animation Apple Inc, ( formerly Apple Computer Inc, is an American Multinational corporation with a focus on designing and manufacturing Consumer electronics [2] He paid $5 million to George Lucas and put $5 million as capital into the company[3], and the Computer Division was renamed Pixar, a fake Spanish word that means "to make pictures", "to make pixels"[4][5]. George Walton Lucas Jr (born May 14, 1944) is an Academy Award -winning American Film director, producer, Screenwriter A contributing factor to the sale was an increase in cash flow difficulties following Lucas' 1983 divorce, which coincided with the sudden drop off in revenues from Star Wars licenses following the release of Return of the Jedi and the disastrous box office performance of Howard the Duck. Star Wars is an epic Space opera franchise initially conceived by George Lucas during the 1970s and significantly expanded Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi is a 1983 Space opera Film directed by Richard Marquand and written by George Lucas Howard the Duck (also known as Howard A New Breed of Hero in Europe is a 1986 live-action film produced by Lucasfilm and [1] The newly independent company was headed by Dr. Edwin Catmull, President and CEO, and Dr. A chief executive officer ( CEO) or chief executive is typically the highest-ranking corporate officer ( executive) or administrator Alvy Ray Smith, Executive Vice President and Director.

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. Typical PC hardware A typical Personal computer consists of a case or chassis in a tower shape (desktop and the following parts Motherboard The Pixar Image Computer was a graphics designing computer made by Pixar in May 1986 intended for the high-end visualization markets One of the leading buyers of Pixar Image Computers was Disney studios, which was using the device as part of their secretive CAPS project, using the machine and custom software to migrate the laborious Ink and Paint part of the 2-D animation process to a more automated and thus efficient method. The Computer Animation Production System (CAPS is a proprietary collection of Software programs scanning camera systems servers networked computer workstations and custom The Image Computer never sold well. [7] In a bid to drive sales of the system, Pixar employee John Lasseter—who had long been creating short demonstration animations, such as Luxo Jr., to show off the device's capabilities—premiered his creations at SIGGRAPH, the computer graphics industry's largest convention, to great fanfare. John Alan Lasseter (born January 12 1957 is an Academy Award -winning American Animator and the chief creative officer at Pixar and Luxo Jr is the first Film produced in 1986 by Pixar Animation Studios, following its establishment as an independent film studio SIGGRAPH (short for S pecial I nterest G roup on GRAPH ics and Interactive Techniques is the name of the annual conference on Computer graphics [7]

As poor sales of Pixar's computers threatened to put the company out of business, Lasseter's animation department began producing computer-animated commercials for outside companies. Early successes included campaigns for Tropicana, Listerine, and LifeSavers. Tropicana Products, is an American based company and was founded in 1947 by Anthony T Listerine is a brand name for Antiseptic Mouthwash. Its original formula has a notoriously strong Flavor, although variations have been released that Life Savers is an American brand of ring-shaped mints and artificially fruit-flavored hard candy. [8] During this period, Pixar continued its relationship with Walt Disney Feature Animation, a studio whose corporate parent would ultimately become its most important partner. Walt Disney Animation Studios (as Walt Disney Feature Animation is a key element of The Walt Disney Company, and the oldest existing Animation studio in the world In 1991, after substantial layoffs in the company's computer department, Pixar made a $26 million deal with Disney to produce three computer-animated feature films, the first of which was Toy Story. Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-generated Comedy film, directed by John Lasseter and starring Tom Hanks Despite this, the company was costing Jobs so much money that he considered selling it. Only after confirming that Disney would distribute Toy Story for the 1995 holiday season did he decide to give it another chance. [9] Pixar was re-incorporated on December 9, 1995.

Disney

Pixar and Disney had disagreements after the production of Toy Story 2. Toy Story 2 is a 1999 Academy-Award -nominated CGI Film, the Sequel to Toy Story; the third 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. [11] Pixar's first five feature films have collectively grossed more than $2. 5 billion, equivalent to the highest per-film average gross in the industry. Though profitable for both, Pixar later complained that the arrangement was not equitable. Pixar was responsible for creation and production, while Disney handled marketing and distribution. Film promotion is a practise undertaken by most film studios Studios invest in expensive Marketing campaigns to maximize target audience attendance of the released A film distributor is an independent company a Subsidiary company or occasionally an individual which acts as the final agent between a film production company 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 were perhaps the most onerous to Pixar and set the stage for a contentious relationship. [12]

The two companies attempted to reach a new agreement in early 2004. The new deal would be 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. [13] More importantly, as part of any distribution agreement with Disney, Pixar demanded control over films already in production under their old agreement, including The Incredibles and Cars. The Incredibles is a 2004 Computer-animated feature Film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures, Cars is a 2006 animated Feature film produced by Pixar and directed by both John Lasseter and Joe Ranft. These conditions were unacceptable to Disney, but Pixar would not concede. [14]

Disagreements between Steve Jobs and Disney Chairman and CEO Michael Eisner made the negotiations more difficult than they otherwise might have been. Michael Eisner (born March 7, 1942) was CEO of The Walt Disney Company from September 22, 1984 to September 30 They broke down completely in mid-2004, with Jobs declaring that Pixar was actively seeking partners other than Disney. [15] However, Pixar did not enter negotiations with other distributors, since other partners saw Pixar's terms as too demanding. After a lengthy hiatus, negotiations between the two companies resumed following the departure of Eisner from Disney in September of 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 Cars was to extend the time frame remaining on the Pixar-Disney contract to see how things would play out between the two companies. [16]

Pending the Disney acquisition of Pixar, the two companies created a distribution deal for the intended 2007 release of Ratatouille, in case the acquisition fell through, to ensure that this one film would still be released through Disney's distribution channels. Ratatouille (rat-a-too-e is a 2007 Computer-animated Family film produced by Pixar and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures (In contrast to the earlier Disney/Pixar deal Ratatouille was 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. [17]

Acquired by Disney

Events 41 - Gaius Caesar (Caligula, known for his eccentricity and cruel Despotism, is Assassinated by his disgruntled Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. 4 billion in an all-stock deal.

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. [18] Jobs' new Disney holdings outpace holdings belonging to ex-CEO Michael Eisner, the previous top shareholder who still held 1.

[19]

As part of the deal, Lasseter, Pixar Executive Vice President and co-founder, became Chief Creative Officer (reporting to President and CEO Robert Iger and consulting with Disney Director Roy Disney) of both Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, as well as the Principal Creative Adviser at Walt Disney Imagineering, which designs and builds the company's theme parks. __FORCETOC__ For the Vice President of the United States, their roles and other information see Vice President of the United States.

Richard W "Dick" Cook is Chairman of the Walt Disney Studios. 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. [19]

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 about the Disney deal. An entity is something that has a distinct separate Existence, though it need not be a material existence [20] Some of those conditions were that Pixar HR policies would remain intact, including the lack of employment contracts. Also, the Pixar name was guaranteed to continue, and the studio would remain in its current Emeryville, California location with the "Pixar" sign. Emeryville is a small city located in Alameda County California, in the United States. Finally, branding of films made post-merger would be "Disney•Pixar" (beginning with Cars). Cars is a 2006 animated Feature film produced by Pixar and directed by both John Lasseter and Joe Ranft. [21]

The bouncing ball animation (below consists of these 6 frames Not many Los Angeles-based animators were willing to move their families 300 miles (480 km) north, give up traditional animation, and try computer animation. Partly because of this, animators hired at Pixar around this time either came directly from college, or had worked outside of feature animation. For those who had traditional animation skills, the Pixar animation software (Marionette) is designed so that traditional animators would require a minimum of training before becoming productive.

Pixar has created extra content for each of their films since A Bug's Life that is not part of the main story. For their early theatrical releases, this content was in the form of "movie outtakes" and appeared as part of the movie's credits. For each of their films since Monsters, Inc. (Finding Nemo excluded), this content was a short made exclusively for the DVD release of the film. [24] Every Pixar film has included cameo appearances of characters or objects from Pixar's other movies or short films, as well as characters voiced by John Ratzenberger. A cameo role or cameo appearance (often shortened to just cameo) is a brief appearance of a known person in a work of the Performing arts, such as John Deszo Ratzenberger (born April 6 1947) is an American Actor.
