March 29, 1989 – Pixar wins an Academy Award for Tin Toy, the first fully computer-animated work to ever win best animated short film. The film was directed by John Lasseter and financed by then Pixar owner Steve Jobs. It was an official test of the PhotoRealistic RenderMan software. The short film later caught the attention of Disney, which partnered with Pixar to create the highly successful Toy Story, an animated movie turned film franchise with elements inspired by the original short film.
