1983 animation test by Disney, directed by John Lasseter (who went on to direct and produce most of the Pixar films, including Toy Story). Back then Disney owned the film rights to the Where The Wild Things Are books... they didn't use them, though, so they lost them. Check out this amazing test, which combined traditional hand-drawn, 2D animation with then-state-of-the-art 3D computer animation!

Holy crap! 1983? Really?? That's one year after the NES!! Astonishing! And, btw: boratmania and AGR04, you guys actually managed to keep an argument under control and act as mature people should. On internet, and on youtube in particular, that's almost as breathtaking as this vid, so props on you two. ^^

Wow that's extraordinary for 1983, I had no idea they were doing this kind of thing so early. They didn't bring CGI into their animations properly until The Rescuers Down Under almost ten years later, certainly not extensively until Beauty and the Beast.

It would have ... ( 1 month ago by feckingbillgates)

It would have probably been too costly for a full length project of this type to be feasible back in 1984. It's astonishing though - I had no idea CGI had reached such an advanced point so early on. Everything pretty much points to Pixar's lamp and ball animation as being the start of all this - anyone know the date of that? Otherwise it's nothing commercially popular until Beauty and the Beast, and nothing fully 3D until Toy Story in 1995!

Morphing seemed groundbreaking when it appeared in Terminator 2 in 1991!
