Pixar Animation Studios keeps computer-generating hits. The company has produced 10 full-length animated feature films, including 1995's "Toy Story" (the first fully computer-animated feature), as well as the more recent WALL-E (2008) and Up (2009). Its proprietary software Marionette (modeling, animating, and lighting), Ringmaster (production management), and RenderMan (image rendering) makes three-dimensional-looking animation.

Its films are released by Disney, which in 2006 bought Pixar for $7.4 billion.
