Pixar Animation Studios (pronounced "pics-ar") was formed in 1979 as The Graphics Group of Lucasfilm Computer Division by Edwin Catmull, Steve Jobs, and John Lasseter. It was renamed to its current name in 1986, and originally produced CGI animated shorts, most notably ''The Adventures of André and Wally B.'', ''Luxo Jr.'', and ''Tin Toy''. They later began working on feature films starting with 1995's ''Toy Story'', a joint production with [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Walt Disney Feature Animation]] which was the first ever full-length film to be computer-animated. In 2006, Pixar was acquired by The Walt Disney Company. | Pixar Animation Studios (pronounced "pics-ar") was formed in 1979 as The Graphics Group of Lucasfilm Computer Division by Edwin Catmull, Steve Jobs, and John Lasseter.

The reanimated variant first appeared on the second trailer for ''Toy Story 4'', and made its official debut on the movie itself, even appearing on the 3-D version; also appearing on both 2020 movies (''Onward'' and ''Soul''), and the 2021 film ''Luca''. The white background variant is fairly rare and was only seen on ''Buzz Lightyear of Star Command''. It plasters the previous logo on newer prints of ''Luxo Jr.'' and ''Knick Knack''. | '''Availability:''' Current and very common.
