Pixar began to be popular with Toy Story, in 1995 , but the study went through very hard economic situations. There were not a few times that they were on the verge of bankruptcy. In addition, to get to where they are now, they were battling for more than 10 years with Disney , which provided the money and kept the rights to merchandising , promotion and distribution of their characters.
However, it was Disney itself that prevented Pixar from closing, something that would have undoubtedly been a tragedy for the world of cinema. In 2005, Disney changed its CEO and Rober Iger wanted to solve the conflict that his predecessor would have generated.
