"Where the Wild Things Are" - CG test from 1983

This is a test for a project based on "Where the Wild Things Are", it featured John Lasseter's hand animated characters on 3D computer backgrounds done by MAGI Synthevision. This was an early Disney foray into computers, but they didn't pursue the computer as an artistic tool any further at that time. Pixar (then Lucasfilm) saw the test and did get it; they hired Lasseter.

You didn't hear this from me, but I think disney/pixar might have a certain project that they are thinking of resurrecting.

If Lasseter pulls it off, this proves to me that he is the next Walt Disney.
