Pixar opened up thier own branch in 2010 called "Pixar Canada"

Funding for Pixar comes from the fact that pixar have yet to release a movie that doens make them money. other then profits money comes in from The Walt Disney Company, companies who wish to hire Pixar to creat shorts or adverts. Pixar also sell Computer Producs called, Pixar Image Computer and RenderMan

Pixar is the leading animation company since it creted its own systems and then sold them for profit which means they didnt keep up with how technology is advancing, they acctually advanced it them selves. Pixar have been releasing thier films in IMAX, Disney have said that all of thier 3D films will have 7.1 surround sound which is the latest technology.
