皮克斯动画工作室(Pixar Animation 1 Studios,香港译作彼思动画制作室),简称皮克斯,是一家专门制作电脑动画的公司。该公司目前位于美国加州的爱莫利维尔(Emeryville)市。该公司也发展尖端的电脑三维软件,包括有专为三维动画设计的软件:PRMan,使用该软件可做出如相片般拟真的三维景像。
皮克斯的前身,是乔治·卢卡斯的电影公司的电脑动画部。1979年,由于《星球大战》电影大获成功,卢卡斯影业成立了电脑绘图部,雇请艾德文·卡特姆负责和其他技术人员一起设计电子编辑和特效系统。卡特姆后被认为是皮克斯的缔造者和纯电脑制作电影的发明人。1984年,刚刚离开迪士尼的约翰·拉赛特(John Lasseter)加入卢卡斯电脑动画部,成为后来皮克斯的重要人物,他是皮克斯创造力的驱动者。1986年,史蒂夫·乔布斯(Steve Jobs)以1000万美元收购了乔治·卢卡斯的电脑动画部,成立了皮克斯动画工作室。2006年,皮克斯被迪士尼以74亿美元收购,成为华特迪士尼公司的一部分。
皮克斯公司自创立就引起了世人的注意。在他们于SIGGRAPH的首次公演会中,他们的动画短片赢得了大众的掌声。并且,他们的作品成为了电脑动画的经典。他们的动画被收录在电脑动画教学的教材里作参考。每年出品的皮克斯视频是奥斯卡奖的热门。
