About Pixar Crosswords

These Pixar crossword puzzles celebrate the studio behind the first fully computer-animated feature film. Clues cover characters like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Nemo, Dory, WALL-E, and Joy, worlds from Monstropolis to Radiator Springs and the Land of the Dead, and the villains, sidekicks, and Easter eggs fans love to spot. Easier grids stick to the famous films; harder ones dig into short films, studio history, and Oscar winners.

Interesting Facts

1.Pixar began as the Computer Graphics Group at George Lucas's Lucasfilm and became an independent company in February 1986, funded with $10 million from Steve Jobs. Disney bought the studio in 2006 in an all-stock deal valued at $7.4 billion.
2.The studio's name came from the Pixar Image Computer: co-founder Alvy Ray Smith suggested Pixer, a made-up Spanish-style verb meaning to make pictures, and Loren Carpenter changed it to Pixar because it sounded more like radar.
3.Pixar's hopping desk lamp comes from John Lasseter's 1986 short Luxo Jr., the first fully computer-animated film nominated for an Academy Award. In the logo before Pixar films, the lamp bounces on the letter I until it flattens.
4.Pixar artists hide A113 in their films, a nod to the CalArts character animation classroom where John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton, and Pete Docter studied; in Toy Story it is the license plate on Andy's mom's car.
5.Pixar films won 11 of the first 25 Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature, handed out from 2002 to 2026, more than any other studio, from Finding Nemo to Soul.
