WATCH THIS NOW: John Lasseter's Where The Wild Things Are CGI Test Animation

John Lasseter's Where The Wild Things Are test animation.

Back in the day when Disney was struggling (in a time called the '80s) and in the midst of a possible hostile takeover, a man who would be king (of PIXAR) named John Lasseter realized there might be something in using computers in animation.  He presented the above test-clip to his superiors and they promptly fired the shit out of him.

Nonetheless, Lasseter went on to found PIXAR and now sleeps in a bed made of illegal elephant ivory.  His pillows are made of cheetah fur I hear.
