The movie "Toy Story" is a collaboration between Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios. It is a Pixar animated film series. As of 2015, three films have been produced.

Speaking of Pixar Animation Studio, everyone is familiar with it. Some familiar movies are produced here, such as "A Bug's Life", "Monsters, Inc.", "Up" and the current hit "Coco" and so on. Pixar existed in its early days as the computer graphics division of George Lucas's Lucasfilm. George Lucas paid a large sum of money for the divorce, and Lucasfilm's post-"Star Wars" series of works were not satisfactory. Lucas' company faced serious cash flow problems, and many people in the company Several departments are facing mergers or divestitures, and the computer graphics department is part of the reduction plan. Edwin Catmull, the head of the department at the time and one of the later founders of Pixar, was not reconciled. Catmull was told that he could find a home for Pixar himself.

So after Catmull’s screening and comparison, the “marriage” with Jobs was finally confirmed. On January 30, 1986, Jobs purchased Pixar from Lucasfilm for $5 million and established the new Pixar, Inc. In addition, Jobs also contributed $5 million as capital for the new company, and Pixar was revived. Jobs didn't buy Pixar because he wanted to make a big splash in film production, but because he took a fancy to Pixar's graphics technology. It was not all smooth sailing at the beginning. Because Jobs was too obsessed with hardware, the company suffered successive losses, which later led to Jobs wanting to give up Pixar.

So, until "Tin Toy" won the 1988 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, it brought a new turn to the company. Pixar's achievements in animated short films attracted the attention of Disney. Disney decided to collaborate with Pixar, and the result was Toy Story. The huge sales of "Toy Story".
