About This Item
Pixar Animation Studios' TOY SOTRY, the first feature-length computer-animated film, changed the face of animation - To Infinity and Beyond! Cowboy doll Woody is Andy's favorite toy, until flashy space hero Buzz Lightyear captures all the attention. But when they end up in the clutches of evil neighbor Sid, Woody and Buzz must work together, finally realizing they have a friend... in each other! Released in 1995, it's the first movie generated completely on computers. It took 300 networked Sun workstations approximately 800,000 hours of computing time to complete this film. Each sixteenth of a second frame contains about 300 megabytes of information. Early in the movie, director John Lasseter's name is visible on the spine of the book InchTin ToyInch on a bookshelf behind Woody. With worldwide box office receipts of $360 million, the film ranks as the third highest-grossing animated film of all time behind THE LION KING and ALADDIN.
