Summary During the decades it has spent as one of the most successful animation studios in Hollywood, Pixar has had several movies cross the billion-dollar mark at the box office. Pixar was once the brilliant and lucky underdog team that pulled off the first 3D-animated feature-length movie with the release of Toy Story in 1995, an event that would transform the animation industry.
Toy Story 3 maintained the franchise's critical acclaim and went above and beyond with its nomination for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Nelson , John Ratzenberger , Catherine Keener , Huck Milner , Bob Odenkirk Runtime 126 Minutes Incredibles 2 also benefited from being a sequel to a near-perfect Pixar movie that had been left untouched for more than a decade, to the point where most never would have thought it was getting a sequel.
