As of 2024, Pixar had won 11 Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature. The studio's first win in the category came with Finding Nemo at the 76th Academy Awards for films released in 2003.
Pixar's winning films include Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, Brave, Inside Out, Coco, Toy Story 4, and Soul. Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 are notable because they are the only sequels to win the award so far.
The category itself began at the 74th Academy Awards in 2002, honoring films released in 2001. Before that, animated movies could receive special or honorary recognition, but there was no regular Oscar specifically for animated features. Shrek became the first winner.
A common counting mistake is to include films that were nominated but did not win, such as Cars, The Incredibles 2, Onward, Luca, Turning Red, Elemental, and Inside Out 2. Another is to count Disney Animation's victories together with Pixar's; the companies are both owned by Disney but are separate studios.
