On this day in 1991, Steve Jobs signed the Feature Film Agreement with The Walt Disney Company, paving the way for Pixar’s first computer-animated feature, ‘Toy Story.’ The deal was originally for three films, with Pixar handling development and production and Disney taking on marketing and distribution.
