About Us
A COLLABORATION BETWEEN ART & TECHNOLOGY
At Pixar, our goal is to make great films with great people. We are proud of our tradition of creative and technical excellence and are always looking for talented people to enrich our work and our community. We believe it’s important for our studio to reflect the diversity of the society we live in and the worldwide audiences for whom we make our films. Come see what we have to offer!
“Pixar's stories rise out of the life experiences of the people who work on our films and we always want those films to speak deeply to our audience.
For us, it is essential that our own team represents the whole of that audience - so we commit to creating a Pixar that includes everyone, makes movies for everyone, and hopefully allows everyone who goes to see a Pixar movie to see a bit of themselves on the screen.”
JIM MORRIS
PRESIDENT
“At Pixar we ask our directors to make movies about themselves.
Rather than trying to second guess what the audience wants to see, our films are born out of the life experiences and reflections of our filmmakers. I believe that’s the strongest way to get authenticity. If the story is truthful and emotional to the people who make it, it’ll be more likely to touch audiences as well. So for our films to really speak to everyone out there, we need our filmmakers to reflect the full diversity of the world.
