February 3, 1986.
Steve Jobs founded Pixar with animation technology he purchased from George Lucas.
Yes. Technology has influenced almost everything. No longer is animation left to the Disney's and Pixar's of the world, we can create and watch animations and cartoons from the comfort of our own home.
Pixar was started in California at Lucasfilm.
Pixar is now owned by Walt Disney studios. It's not likely to stop making films anytime soon. If it did, the overall U.S. economy would not be affected.
There are two people who could take credit for founding Pixar. Steve Jobs and George Lucas.Pixar originally started out as the Computer Division of Lucasfilm Ltd. (owned by George Lucas). They made one computer animated short film that everyone liked, except George Lucas.Steve Jobs bought the Computer Division of Lucasfilm in the 1980s. He made them an independent company and they started to sell a computer called the Pixar Image Computer.For more about Pixar, I highly recommend The Pixar Touch by David A. Price.
