Industrial Light & Magic is a movie special effects studio founded by Star Wars writer/director George Lucas in May of 1975, and is currently owned by Lucas's main motion picture studio, Lucasfilm, thereby becoming a Disney company in 2012 as part of Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm. The company is known for its outstanding work in many motion pictures, including the first computer-generated imagery animation in a feature-length film, the first movie shot entirely on digital cameras, and for the development of the Pixar computer system (before they separated and were eventually bought out).
