Since 1992, Sony Pictures Imageworks has been creating award-winning visual effects and digital character animation, beginning with seamless invisible effects and developing an expertise in emotive CG characters and creatures for live action, all CG-animated, and hybrid live-action/animation productions. Imageworks is a community of innovative digital artists and technologists who collaborate creatively with filmmakers, helping them to bring their vision to the screen to the delight of audiences around the globe. Starting with "Stuart Little", the first photorealistic CG animated star in a live action movie, Imageworks pioneered groundbreaking moviemaking that stressed traditional character performance with exacting production standards. These innovations set the stage for what is now widely regarded as blended-cinema, where techniques from animation, visual effects and live-action combine to produce a wide-range of films including the "Spider-Man™" movies, "The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe", "Superman Returns", "Monster House" and "Beowulf". The company's pioneering work has been recognized with numerous awards and nominations, including the Academy Award® for Best Visual Effects for Spider-Man 2™.

Upcoming projects include "Alice In Wonderland", "Cats And Dogs 2", and "Zookeeper". In 2002, Imageworks proved its all-CG character animation and production capabilities with the animated short, "The "ChubbChubbs!", which won an Academy Award® and paved the way for the establishment of Sony Pictures Animation to produce animated feature films. Sony Pictures Animation's first film, "Open Season", was a box-office hit and its second film, "Surf's Up", received an Academy Award® nomination for Best Animated Feature.
