Walt Disney Animation Studios

Disney is a name that has become synonymous with so many words over time that it’s hard to keep count. It’s an umbrella of imagination and adventure that covers every facet of entertainment.

Founded in 1923 by Walt Disney and his older brother Roy, the two siblings began producing silent short cartoons in their small studio in Los Angeles. It was the introduction of none other than Mickey Mouse which kickstarted the company’s career. Mickey would of course go on to become the face of the business, but it was the 1937 feature film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” which brought renowned attention to everyone on board. Since then, the company has released upwards of 60 different full-length features, each one a testament to the remarkable strength in quality Disney holds for itself. With classics like “Pinnochio,” “Bambi,” “The Lion King,” “The Beauty and the Beast” and “The Little Mermaid,” to name a few, along with more recent examples like “Tangled,” “The Princess and the Frog” and “Frozen,” we’re not in the minority in saying that Walt Disney leads by example.

Pixar Animation Studios

For three decades, it’s produced stories which have exceeded the ideas of what a cartoon should be by appealing to children, their parents and pretty much every age group out there. It begins with a thought, the basis for the story. From there, regular meetings are held with trusted members of the company to transform that idea.

Every Pixar picture to date, as well as the short films that preceded them, have been the result of the writers trying to surprise themselves by being candid about their own story’s flaws. We all know the resulting filmography — the “Toy Story” franchise, “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille,” “Up,” “WALL-E,” “Finding Dory” — the list goes on and on. Not every moment has always been a success, but the positives have far outweighed the negatives. It all began in 1986 with an investment from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

Since then, the desk lamp logo for the company has become one of the most memorable symbols in cinematic history. With releases for “Cars 3,” “Coco,” “Toy Story 4” and “The Incredibles 2,” the anticipation only grows for what’s next.

华特▪迪士尼动画工作室

随着时间推移,迪士尼这个名字已成为无数词语的代名词,它是一把由想象力和冒险精神织成的伞盖,涵盖了娱乐界的方方面面。

1923年,华特▪迪士尼和哥哥罗伊共同创立了迪士尼,两兄弟开始在洛杉矶的小工作室里制作无声动画短片。

米老鼠的问世开启了公司的事业,米老鼠也理所当然地成为迪士尼的企业形象,但直到1937年《白雪公主和七个小矮人》上映迪士尼才真正家喻户晓。此后,该公司发行了60余部动画长片,每一部都体现了迪士尼一贯的高制作水准。工作室曾制作出《木偶奇遇记》、《小鹿斑比》、《狮子王》、《美女与野兽》、《小美人鱼》等经典,最近又推出了《魔发奇缘》、《公主与青蛙》和《冰雪奇缘》等动画,就作品而言,工作室一直处于领先,持这种看法的人不在少数。

皮克斯动画工作室

过去30年,皮克斯动画不仅吸引了儿童及其父母,还触动了几乎各个年龄段的人群,由此超越了人们对动画的固有印象。由一个故事构想,即故事梗概开始,公司定期召开核心成员会议,完善构思。

迄今为止,每部皮克斯电影,以及之前的短片,都是编剧们坦诚面对自己故事的缺陷从而成就的惊喜之作。比如我们都知道的《玩具总动员》系列,《超

人总动员》、《美食总动员》、《飞

屋环游记》、《机器人总动员》、《海底总动员2:多莉去哪儿》等 —— 作品数不胜数。成功并非总是如影相随,但发展道路上的积极因素远超消极因素。1986年,苹果联合创始人史蒂夫▪乔布斯对其进行了投资。此后,公司的台灯标志便成为电影史上最令人印象深刻的标志之一。随着《汽车总动员3》、

《寻梦环游记》、《玩具总动员4》和

《超人总动员2》的上映,人们对其未来抱有更高的期待。
