Since producing the first fully computer-animated feature film, Pixar Animation Studios has been a creative force in digital culture and popular entertainment. But, more specifically, its depictions of uncanny toys, technologically sublime worlds, fantastic characters, and meaningful sensations explore aesthetic experience and its relation to developments in global media, creative capitalism, and consumer culture. This investigation finds in Pixar's artificial worlds and transformational stories opportunities for thinking through aesthetics as a contested domain committed to newness and innovation as well as to criticism and pluralistic thought. 606 $aMotion pictures$xAesthetics 606 $aAnimated films$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAesthetics. 615 0$aAnimated films$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a791.43/34 700 $aHerhuth$b Eric, $01208376 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154714403321 996 $aPixar and the Aesthetic Imagination$92787597 997 $aUNINA
