List of Pixar films
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pixar is a CGI animation production company based in Emeryville, California, United States. The studio has earned numerous awards for their feature films and other work, including twenty-two Academy Awards, four Golden Globes, and three Grammys. Pixar is best known for these CGI-animated features created with PhotoRealistic RenderMan, its own implementation of the industry-standard Renderman image-rendering API used to generate high-quality images.
As of 2009, Pixar have released ten CGI films. The company produced its first feature-length film Toy Story in 1995. The film won one Academy Award and was nominated for three others, and set a benchmark in terms of animation to which other film companies have since aspired. The success of the film led Pixar to release a sequel in 1999, following their second CGI production, A Bug's Life in 1998. Monsters, Inc. was the next project to be released, in 2001, and Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E and Up have since been released. Each film has garnered critical acclaim for the use of CGI, well-developed storylines and film production. Four films, including a third Toy Story, are slated for release between 2010 and 2012.
