An animated history in shorts that are picture-perfect
Just as memorable as Pixar's Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles are those miniature masterpieces — the short films that preceded them. In this first-volume DVD compilation, your grandkids can peruse the hilarious history of computer animation with each vignette. The now-crude, then-groundbreaking first short, "The Adventures of Andre and Wally B." was made on a computer that's nearly a hundred times slower than the circuitry inside your grandchild's cell phone. More contemporary, visually stunning shorts include our favorite, "Boundin'," an Aesop’s fable-esque story of a freshly-fleeced sheep who dances his way through life's setbacks.
