I've heard that last song before. Does anyone know who that is? It's awfully familiar and I can't place it.

For that matter, what's the first song, too?

Definately *music plays a part in this vid!

Still think killing the toys in the last scene of Toy Story 3 would have been the greatest movie ending of all time. My heart was pounding away, hands clenched, eyes unblinking, if they had let them die, I probably would have died from sensory overload but it would have been awesome.

As for Pixar, the only studio ever that when they announce a sequel, I don't have the slightest worry or concern.

The last song (Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros) was used for Planet Earth and a few trailers...

The one at the start... over the credits is used in Finding Nemo near the start of the movie.
The main theme they play after that though is Overture by Michael Kamen and originally from the Robin Hood (Keven Costner version) soundtrack, but a portion of that theme, the part they played here, is used by Disney/Pixar films when the Disney logo is up. Can't say I knew before just now it was in Robin Hood, I just associated it with the Disney logo.
From there it goes into Kaneda's Death, Pt. 2 (Adagio in D Minor) by John Murphy from the Sunshine soundtrack and used in tons of trailers since then. That one I was able to place instantly... he is one of my lead choices for the Dark Tower score...
Then of course goes into the last song already mentioned.

I feel the need to point out that 2011 - 1995 = 16 years of movies, not 25.

Pixar was founded in 1986. 2011 - 1986 = 25 years. This video fails to include any of their work before Toy Story.

That's because they don't have any.

"Luxo Jr. is the first film produced in 1986 by Pixar Animation Studios, following its establishment as an independent film studio. It is a computer-animated short film (two and a half minutes, including credits), demonstrating the kind of things the newly-established company was capable of producing. It was the first Pixar short to release within a Pixar film." - Source

And more here.

Touché, good sir. Though not much of a studio if all they do is shorts, no?

Actually you do see parts of their early shorts (for instance the small lamp teetering on the ball), and yes, a studio is still a studio even if they do shorts, Disney for instance started as a maker of short animations.

This isn't a perfect collage, far from it, but a worthy effort. Kudos.

They also have 11 full length films, 3 more in production and a rack of awards to go with them.

The music is "Adagio in D Minor" by John Murphy, from the soundtrack of the excellent movie "Sunshine". I have to say, I really hate hearing it (ab)used so freely (in Fringe, Kick-Ass, the trailer for The Adjustment Bureau, The Walking Dead, etc.). I get the same uneasy feeling when hearing Mansell's Requiem for a Dream theme in other films; when music is written for a film, it is a part of it.

/end rant.

edit: sorry RFlag, didn't see you had already thoroughly answered.

Good to see BURN-E there. Best thing they've done.
