When did Pixar animation first begin?
Pixar was founded in 1979 as the Graphics Group, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm. Their work consisted of film sequences from Lucasfilm, as well as collaborations with Industrial Light and Magic. In 1986, the group was purchased by Steve Jobs (after he left Apple Computer) and established as the independent company Pixar.
Pixar's main product was the Pixar Image Computer, a high-end graphics computer intended for use in the medical industry. Despite the innovation, there were few sales because of cost and lack of training. It was not until John Lasseter (now Chief Creative Officer at Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios) presented his animation experiments at SIGGRAPH that interest in the machine peaked.
Still-slow sales of the Pixar Image Computer (only 300 were ever sold) forced Pixar to seek other avenues for profit. They began producing commercial animations for advertising in 1989. In 1991, Pixar teamed with Walt Disney Productions to develop, produce and distribute three computer animated films. Toy Story, the first of these films, was released in 1995 and went on to gross over $350 million worldwide.
Who are all of the Disney and Pixar characters?

'imaging computer called the 'Pixar.' The Pixar was then used to develop high-tech graphics and animation sequences for Lucasfilm projects. Unlike other computers, Pixar's software constructed high-resolution, three-dimensional color images of virtually anything, from buildings and cars to tornadoes and aliens. Remarkably, Pixar was also capable of helping medical professionals at Johns Hopkins diagnose diseases from 3D renderings of CAT-scans and x-rays; giving weather technicians new images from satellites; and even helping prospectors locate oil from enhanced seismic readings--all at a speed some 200 times faster than previous computer programs.'
