Where The Wild Things Are - Early DISNEY CG Animation Test
Uploaded by: kurtori
Video Description:
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!

| do you know what ... ( 1 month ago by boratmania) |
| do you know what you're talking about? i won't be rude since maybe u don't understand too much about animation. 3D at least is much easier and cost efficient than making 2D animationsin many cases. take lion king, do you remember the captions where many animals walk at the same time? that was done in 3D then masked in a way to make it look 2D, why? because hand drawing it would be way too much work and the animals would look as if they're sychronised instead of walking uniquely |

| yes you do because you seem completely dumb founded in this subject by claiming that making the whole thing hand drawn is less troblesome than incorporating 3D in it. dude let me tell u something. 3 people already disagreed with your comment, 4 including me- which is more disagrements than any one got so u can have an opinion but not such an ignorant and dum one |
| Hey, you are taking ... ( 1 month ago by AGR04) |
| Hey, you are taking this out of complete proportions. We're talking about a kids movie hear, and you start calling me stupid and that my opinion is bogas! I'm suddenly stupid for having an opinion, I know tons about animation smart one, my dad happens to be an animator!!! I know I may have upset you, but that's no reason to get crazy about it and call opinions dumb and me ignorant |
| i apologize dude. ... ( 1 month ago by boratmania) |
| i apologize dude. i'm sorry for this. maybe i shouldn't have countered you're opinion. it's just that sometimes i get extremely upset when i disagree with someone's opinion or if i think someon's opinion is wrong. do you accept my apology? and thanx for ur maturity in dealing with the mean things i said. in many occasions once people judge me wrong or counter me or anything i get enraged. i apologze once more |

| It's fine, I accept your apology. You appearently have strong feelings that you like to defend, I'm like that too. I admire your mature attitude. Hopefully we can be friends :D |

| Anyone who says ... ( 1 month ago by robinhood01) |
| Anyone who says they hate 3D or they hate Pixar but love Disney are obviously holding a grudge against 3D for becoming popular. The whole "this" beats "this" argument is flawed from the start because you're assuming that the movies are competing. SO WHAT if you like an old movie and don't like a new movie. Kids LOVE Toy Story just as much as they love Bambi. They just like being told stories. Your whole elitist 3D/Pixar are bad and 2D/old-Disney are good doesn't mean anything to anyone. |
| Saying it like that ... ( 1 month ago by Mikosyke) |
| Saying it like that, RobinHood, makes it sound like 2D animation is completely out in Disney. From what I remember, the most popular shows on Disney Channel are either 2D or Live Action. |

| 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. ^^ |

| i miss 2D.. I wish they did both still, the fact that one has replaced the other =is sad... its only because disney are retarded and when they ran out of entertaining historical stories they were fucked for originality. |

| 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. |

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