The company produced its first feature-length film, Toy Story, in 1995. The film won an Academy Award and was nominated for three others.

The success of the film led Pixar to release a sequel, Toy Story 2, 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 the following six features Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E and Up were highly successful. The eleventh film, Toy Story 3, has become the highest-grossing animated film of all time worldwide. Their most recent film is Cars 2 which is a sequel to Cars, the second film to have a sequel. Both Toy Story 3 and Cars 2 are the most expensive Pixar movies to ever be produced, at an estimated budget of $200 million each.

A film entitled Newt was planned for a 2012 release, but was later canceled.[6] John Lasseter noted that the film's proposed plot line was similar to that of another film, 20th Century Fox's Rio, which was released in 2011.[7] A sequel to The Incredibles is also being considered,[8] and Tom Hanks revealed that a fourth Toy Story movie is in the works, though Pixar still has yet to give an official confirmation.[9][10] In September 2011, Lee Unkrich announced the start of "my new project" through the launch of a photo blog chronicling the project; it was not stated if this was a new film or his portion of an existing film, or something completely different.[11]
