OMG. Best place ever. Got a personal tour and it was the highlight of our trip to CA. If you know a person that works here they aren't your real friend unless they offer u a tour! ;)

By making friends! Employees can give tours. You get a cool little "a stranger from the outside" sticker badge too (Toy Story reference).

Hi I'm currently trying to learn more about animation because working for Pixar as an animator is my dream job, what kind of softwares do you use for your animation and what collages do you think give the best education about animation?

Whoa 3 months ago. My name is Jacob and I'm a Nursing Instructor in Washington State and, it's not necessarily about the software or hardware, as to making sure that your computer skills are fine tuned, learning how to create software for Pixar i think is a lot of hands-on work but, as far as Colleges, anything that requires learning how to input numbers and symbols, try an IT College information technology, and a lot of computer science. There's tons of schools that would help you get your Dream Job. Good luck to you my friend, and I hope you get accepted into Pixar.

I really want to like walk around and have a tour. How do I?

This sums it up pretty well. https://m.wikihow.com/Get-a-Tour-of-Pixar-Studios

I would just like to know what it's like working there thanks

The movie industry can be rough to work in. Pros: every single person around you is motivated and passionate to be there. there's so many creative and wonderful people in this industry and you're surrounded by them. You feel lucky to be able to work there and be part of such phenomenal art. Name recognition is nice. Cons: people never leave so there's very little advancement and you better hope that you get along well with your boss. Because neither of you is going anywhere ever if either of you can help it. People can work crazy hours, are happy to because they're part of the company. if you expect to make good money, forget about it they pay you less because they know there's 10 people that will take your job the second you leave. So you better perform.

Is it possible to take a picture with the Pixar lamp? I don’t want to do a tour I just wanna see the lamp.

Gerald Gonzalez | Jun 23, 2022
Ian Westcott | Jun 23, 2022

Unfortunately, the lamp is in the heart of the studio, which is not open to the public. Since the start of the pandemic. It is not been open to visitors either, so even knowing someone on the inside won't be wouldn't be much help.

can I visit, and see the place? If you answer yes, how can I do it? Thank you

Laura De Manson | Aug 22, 2021
Ian Larry | Aug 22, 2021

Call or look up online at the website on times and hours and days on when you can visit. As I never visited the place at all.

P Herron | Aug 23, 2019

Work on making yourself the best at your craft as possible. Pixar can hire from the very best globally so become the best you can so you are competitive with others in the field.

I would just like to know if it would be possible for me to get a job at Pixar (since I currently live in South Africa) and what I should do to be better prepared? I am currently doing my second year in BA 3D animation

Irna Oosthuizen | Aug 23, 2019

Get your classes and an internship locally if you can find one. Always look for something to beef up your resume.

Its my dream to get a job in pixar but im still 17 nd there is a long way to go .But i want to knw hw to get a job in pixar ..nd hw talented we shud be..

Bhuvana. K Gowda | Aug 23, 2018
Edward Dixon | Aug 23, 2018

What I tell students and interns is that talent is great, but it is mostly about the work you put in. You don't say what kind of job you want, but I think you should assume that the kind of person that gets your dream job is already writing and filming stories, whether animated or live action. Nobody gets to be excellent without a lot of deliberate practice and development. If you want to make big movies tomorrow, make little ones today. Good luck!

Is their tours available?

Maybe see if you can find somebody that works there on Couchsurfing or LinkedIn. If you're very sincere and have a good reason, who knows, maybe they'll help out.

We visited the site and they have a mixed staff. Everyone was pretty nice and friendly. Floyd Norman collaborates with Pixar and he's an amazing artist and story teller. I think it might be a hard place to get into. My daughter has been trying to get an internship and they get tons of applications.
