CGI Landmarks: Adventures of Andre & Wally B (1984)

Moving on over 10 years later came the very first 'kind of' Pixar film in the form of the Adventures of Andre & Wally B. This is a fantastic piece of 3D animation that was also the first CG animation with motion blur and the use of the squash and stretch principle to be produced which definitely gives this a title of being a CGI landmark. Created by Lucasfilm and produced by John Lasseter, who later on went to work for Pixar, this is a cracking little animation about a bee and a person who end up in a chase scene, but the real reason this is a CGI landmark is due to the principles of animation it demonstrates. When watching is is clear to see that the squash and stretch principle has been used but there are also examples of staging, anticipation and slow in and slow out.
