Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Before Toy Story, there was Tin Toy. John Lasseter and the creative geniuses at Pixar made landmark short films that paved the way for their feature-length films. This dandy collection contains their five shorts made between 1984 and 1989. The only throwaway is The Adventures of André & Wally B., the earliest short, barely two minutes long. The famous hopping lamp (now part of the company's logo) appears in Luxo Jr. and illustrates how Pixar's sense of humor is so crucial to its success. There is real personality here, as a "father" lamp is surprised by his "son." That essence comes to life in the Oscar-winning Tin Toy. This film about a baby playing with a wind-up doll is a blueprint for Toy Story as is Knickknack, a delightful and very funny short about a snowman who will do anything to get out of his snow globe. An essential for any fan of computer animation. --Doug Thomas

Since then I became interested in computer graphics and because I had moved to Paris I became the co-founder and Vice-President of the Local Group of SIGGRAPH in France. When I quit making films, I devoted myself to what I felt would be the future of cinema-making (computer graphics). In 1988, we held our first ... Read More
