I was very glad it was dark in the theatre as we all watched Toy Story 3 last Xmas. Andy has to leave his favourite cowboy at home when he goes off to college.

Pixar was established by Steve Jobs in 1986. Chef animator John Lasseter says that it takes three things to make an animated film: world, character and story. Pixar has remained true to that edict since their first short Luxo Jr – and the other 19 short films and 12 feature films they have made since.
The ground breaking Toy Story came out in 1995. Cars 2 will be released later this year.
An exhibition at the Australian Centre of the Moving Image in 1987 celebrated 20 years of Pixar animation.
So this year marks 25 years of Pixar. To celebrate, this video has been produced which shows key Pixar moments.
