It was founded in 1979 and was acquired by Disney in 2006. - Pixar has a unique culture that fosters creativity, with no cubicles, central meeting spaces, and benefits like Pixar University courses. Founder Ed Catmull emphasized leadership, process, and accountability. - The Disney acquisition agreement protected Pixar's culture and autonomy, with Catmull and Lasseter maintaining leadership roles and Disney handling marketing/distribution for Pixar films. This was beneficial for both companies.
