This company was originally supposed to sell what you see in 1. They made small “demo clips” to show 1’s might but it had no buyers. The company later evolved into something totally different. Which company?

pixar_image_computer

The first few “demo clips” has a reference to 1 in the beginning, but, later one of the demo clips became so famous that the company started using that instead of 1 in other things it did.
