A tree at the corporate headquarters of Disney's Pixar has been dedicated to Steve Jobs, co-founder of the animation studio as well as Apple.

The tree and plaque can be found in front of the Steve Jobs Building at Pixar's campus. Photos via oPixar Times.

The tree dedicated to the memory of the late Jobs was spotted on a trip to Pixar's campus taken this week by Samad Rizvi of Pixar Times. There he spotted a tree standing alone near the studio's main campus building, a facility that was also recently renamed the "Steve Jobs Building" late last year.

A silver-colored plaque sits in front of the tree with the following message:

The Steve Jobs Building
Main entrance to the Steve Jobs Building at Pixar's campus in California.


The same words were also featured in a tribute to Jobs at the end of the credits of last year's Pixar theatrical release, "Brave," which hauled in more than a half-billion dollars at the worldwide box office.

Jobs was a co-founder and main backer of Pixar, as he infused millions of dollars of personal cash to keep the studio alive well before the company turned a profit. His investment paid off handsomely in 2006, when Disney bought Pixar and Jobs netted about $4 billion in shares.

    This tree should live longer and longer and longer. It should give shade to many tired people. THis tree should grow bigger and should as a source of inspiration.


    This shall become "Bodhi Vrksha" and gives birth to many buddhas.

    I laugh at the neanderthals (lower case) who swarm the tech blogs like C|net claiming Steve Jobs did nothing important. Like Microsoft, they have no taste, and I mean that in a big way. They are McDonalds. 


     


    Yep, I just got around to watching Steve Jobs, The Lost Interview.

    He didn't start it from scratch but he did buy it from Lucas and made it independent.

    May the tree live a long and healthy life. It's nice to have a living thing as a remembrance instead of just a building (which they also have).


     


    I still wish Steve was with us ... /sigh

    Everything that is related to Apple, even at the nth level, is a news here. Why can't AI post this?  This is really a sweet news.

    Because a certain element here has no taste.

    Agreed! Well said. I find so many of the comments here snide and snarky....I much prefer the positive comments.

    Alas, perhaps I'm getting old! "Snarky" seems to be "in!"

    If you really love Apple and Steve, this news definitely tastes good.

    The pigeons represent those crapping on the this nice news re: tree dedicated to Steve :)


     


    In the end, even the pigeons serve a purpose and their crap provides fertilizer for the tree. Not so much benefit for the building though ...
