Pixar Animation Studios Inc.
Pixar Animation Studios company has produced about a dozen full-length animated movies, including the first fully computer-animated feature "Toy Story" (1995), as well as the more recent Toy Story 3 (2010) and Up (2009). Its proprietary software Marionette (modeling, animating, and lighting), Ringmaster (production management), and RenderMan (image rendering) makes three-dimensional-looking animation. RenderMan was used to create some of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park and space creatures in the Star Wars films. Pixar has accounted for nearly a quarter of the animation box office in recent years. Its films are released by Disney, which in 2006 bought Pixar for $7.4 billion.
