Pixar Animation Studios: Difference between revisions

'''Pixar Animation Studios''' (pronounced "pics-ar") was formed in 1979 as The Graphics Group of [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|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 Pictures]] which was the first-ever full-length film to be computer-animated. In 2006, Pixar was acquired by [[The Walt Disney Company]].

'''Music/Sounds:''' On original prints of ''Luxo Jr.'', and ''Beach Chair'', it used a big band style tune (which is taken from the ending of "Take a Bow 1", composed by David Lindup for Bruton Music (now APM Music)). The same stock music is from a syndication promo Studio City made called "Spin City on Ice" which you may find at the beginning [https://vimeo.com/387020580 here]. The variants use the short's opening theme. It can be listened [https://www.apmmusic.com/albums/BRU_BR_0169 here]. It was also used on three episodes of ''Spongebob Squarepants'' ("Artist Unknown", "Suction Cup Symphony" and "Bobcook"). On newer prints of ''Luxo Jr.'' starting with the DVD and Blu-ray for ''Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1'', the standard logo is silent, likely due to the use of the 5.1 remix from the 1999 prints that accompanied ''Toy Story 2'', which replaced the logo with the 1995 logo and a notice that reads "In 1986, Pixar Animation Studios produced its first film. This is why we have a hopping lamp in our logo." However, the Disney+ prints of the movie have an intact logo.
