Really?
You don't remember that all major Pixar movies, since Toy Story, were also from Disney?

I'm old enough to have seen Mary Poppins, first run in a theater, and enjoyed it to pieces.

I'll admit a fondness for Lady and the Tramp too. Managed to see that at the Indian Hills before they tore it down.

Haha, so Disney distributed them, but had no creative imput on those movies. So no, Disney still didn't make them, I don't think they can be counted as Disney movies. I'm not sure though.
Some people still won't attribute goid Pixar movies to Disney. Basically, pixar is good despite Disny, but any crap made by anything remotely associated with Disney is of course their fault, lol.

Hmm, even after reading this, I'm unclear on how much creative control Disney had over early Pixar movies. They produced and distributed Toy Story, in an effort by Pixar to save itself, but it looks like Pixar pitched the film to Disney, and they simply agreed to pzy for it.
Not sure. Not that I care, if all of the Pixar films can be called Disney films, Im fine with that!

Initially, Pixar was a high-end computer hardware company whose core product was the Pixar Image Computer, a system primarily sold to government agencies and the medical community. One of the buyers of Pixar Image Computers was Disney Studios, which was using the device as part of their secretive CAPS project, using the machine and custom software to migrate the laborious ink and paint part of the 2-D animation process to a more automated and thus efficient method. The Image Computer never sold well. In a bid to drive sales of the system, Pixar employee John Lasseter—who had long been creating short demonstration animations, such as Luxo Jr., to show off the device's capabilities—premiered his creations at SIGGRAPH, the computer graphics industry's largest convention, to great fanfare.

As poor sales of Pixar's computers threatened to put the company out of business, Lasseter's animation department began producing computer-animated commercials for outside companies. Early successes included campaigns for Tropicana, Listerine, Life Savers, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. In April 1990 Jobs sold Pixar's hardware division, including all proprietary hardware technology and imaging software, to Vicom Systems, and transferred 18 of Pixar's approximate 100 employees.

The same year Pixar moved from San Rafael to Richmond, California. During this period, Pixar continued its relationship with Walt Disney Feature Animation, a studio whose corporate parent would ultimately become its most important partner. In 1991, after a tough start of the year when about 30 employees in the company's computer department had to go (including the company's president, Chuck Kolstad), which reduced the total number of employees to just 42, Pixar made a $26 million deal with Disney to produce three 3D computer-animated feature films, the first of which was Toy Story. At that point, the software programmers, who were doing RenderMan and CAPS, and Lasseter’s animation department, who made television commercials and a few shorts for Sesame Street, was all that was left of Pixar.

How can we know how much one company influences the other?

It's curious to note that some movies set in the "pixar universe" are not included in that list, such as the Planes movies:



However, John Lasseter served as an executive producer and writer.

I have no idea how to tell how much influence each has. It's like when we see Steven Spielberg as a director, then on something else as a producer, yet in both cases it will be billed as "from Steven Spielberg", yet his creative influence is clearly going to be different between directing and producing.

I wanted to mention the Ice Age ...but unfortunately it was produced by the 20th Century Fox..meh
but it is still the best
