Pixar background information

The following information has been acquired from the wikipedia website available from this link.

Pixar Animation Studios is an computer animation studio based in California (USA) that is most recognizable for its eight Academy Awards. It is best known for its work with CGI animation in films such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille. The CGI effect is achieved through 'PhotoRealistic RenderMan', Pixar's own version of the standard image rendering software used by animated films to get a high-quality image.

'On January 24, 2006, The Walt Disney Company agreed to buy Pixar for $7.4 billion from Steve Jobs - who had previously acquired it from Lucasfilm - through an all-stock transaction.'
