LAS VEGAS – The makers of "Up," "WALL-E" and other Academy Award-winning cartoons have taken home a new prize.

Disney-owned Pixar Animation received the ShoWest Big Ten Award on Tuesday in honor of the company's perfect track record — 10 films, 10 blockbuster hits, including "Finding Nemo" and "The Incredibles."

John Lasseter, Pixar's creative mastermind and director of "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2," accepted the award just before screening the franchise's sequel, "Toy Story 3," for the audience at ShoWest, an annual convention of theater owners.

Lasseter thanked theater owners for supporting Pixar from the start and promised that "we will keep delivering great movies. We're not stopping at 10."

"Toy Story 3" opens in theaters June 18.
