First Ever Pixar Short Movie - The Adventures of André and Wally B. [1984 HD]

[NiteSaiya]

Still deeper than Twilight. Still a better love story.

[mrfahrenheit1986]

Yeah, this is pretty good for '84, gotta say.

[youwayo]

They messed up the Barber of Seville music!

[AlinaTowers]

"Dat one's gweat wight in 'ere," According to my 2-year-old.

[chillinur36]

WOW! for 1984, this is amazing! it gives me chills because they are using 1984 technology to make this and everything is perfect. The trees are moving and the grass is moving. way to go guys. i bet back then, everybody was blown away.

[kulni]

Luxo Jr. was there first short movie not this.

Just saying :D

[burgerman9000]

@kulni you dont know anything on pixar look it up and youll see which came first

[TheBump465]

This wasn't done by Pixar. It was released by pixar, but made by lucasfilm

[TheMattchu1212]

@TheBump465 Which broke off to form Pixar

[TheBump465]

@TheMattchu1212 yeah, but i am just saying that they weren't pixar yet. :)

[POPCANA]

@TheBump465 Actually this division within LucusFilm was known as "Pixar"

[Gemanai465]

his son got scared by this? how pitiful>_<

[KINGxUxTUBE]

720p my ass

[MrKCL24]

F dischArGes hhgf

[ParcaReaperMadness]

do you know what is the music of this short film when appears the bee?

[creativefanatics7]

@ParcaReaperMadness Barber of Seville

[ParcaReaperMadness]

@creativefanatics7 thank you buddy! :)

[ultimatedbz2]

And then people started wondering whatever happened to Andy's dad.

[dmga1993]

Cool xD

[GRaffPictures]

this is freaking amazing for 1984

[phillyfanmatt]

RIP Steve Jobs. He had so much to do with Pixar becoming what it is today.

[elliot888ify]

this is bloody awsome

[OBLIVIONMASTER94]

i dont get it

[TheLOLCOPPER]

The Opening credits make it feel like a 50's show.

[ZOLTAR802]

mein gott i wish i knew the credits song.

[nadeerag]

Wally B is there!!!!! walleeeee

[soutarm]

Has John Lasseter's signature mis-matched blinking eyes.

[ManWithAmbientMind]

Can't believe a canoo like this short film came out of the ocean of claymation art in 1984. I would've expected claymation, NOT THIS! So weird to see a computer animated film (made 11 years before Toy Story) come out in the 80s. And I thought Knick Knack was the first Pixar animated film.. pshh.

[mariobrasil9]

the music is barber of seville overture by rossini

[EmmsAccount]

1984?...

This must've taken them YEARS.

[haruhifujioka104]

OMFG BARBER OF SEVILLE!!!!

[alexwilligs99]

The short was created on a Cray X MP/48 and a VAX 11/750 according to the credits

[alexwilligs99]

Donald Duck is dressed! XD

[BigRedUnderpants1]

This new technology must have got everyone excited back then. Now, it's everywhere.

[HHGFHJGFHJGFJTYFJDGY]

This is the first ever computer animated film with characters and a story.

[Snurremegrundt]

They just don't make them like that any more.

[RobiTV1]

they problably made this for 5 years

[katerslife]

this was my childhood

[TheNinwii]

the machine that rendered this must have been a monster

[akumankka]

0:44 what is this song?

[JMAzn88]

@akumankka that segment is from "The Barber of Seville Overture" by Gioacchino Rossini

[NASCARFAN160]

Although the opening title and end credits music ooze 70's. IMO

[NASCARFAN160]

This is NOT HD. XD But, it was revolutional.

[freespeech4u2]

realize that the NES wasn't even a thing when this was made. mario was futuristic at this point

[cristilica1]

...the beginning of a revolution in filmmaking...

[kulekrizpy]

This had a ten minute standing ovation when it first came out.

[slugmouth]

its duck man.



[ThePastamasta1]

i hope they never make a movie this creepy again. i'm never watching this again! now i'm trying not to have a nightmare tonight.

[ray1man2hype]

This is so funny . That video "chris bunny - look at me now parody" is funny as hell too.

[Peetree777]

This brings back so many memories of watching disney pixar on vhs... those where the days :)

[MissClarinda]

sounds like Donald Duck :D

[mrsbutterfields]

i think the "voice" of the little guy is the same as abu, the monkey from aladdin

[layzsailor]

Is that the Karate Kid music in the beginning?

[qavk3000]

one of the starts of a new animation generation, cheers \m/

[MrJonmar72]

Even though this short GC film

was made in 1984,it still feels like a

1999(.....wwWWOOOooww!!...)

[NortheRomania]

how was this possible back in the '80s..im currently learning 3ds max and maya and its so hard and rendering pushes my pc to the limits..

[DavyDeckwalker]

@NortheRomania Rendering technology is a lot more powerful these days, and therefore USES a lot more power and CPU. Back then it was a simple thing.

[NortheRomania]

@DavyDeckwalker yes i totaly agree with you ,but even this type of low poly animation with basic shaders takes some rendering time ( guessing arround 5 to 10 minutes on my pc )and does require more power than they had at that time ( ram , cpu , gpu) . anyway its amazing that they actually pulled it off back then.

[madmodder]

@NortheRomania animation studios usually use banks of computers "render farms" to render their animations. The computers they used to make this probably werent nearly as powerful as an iphone but they probably had a LOT of them.

[19KISStheSKY97]

It is not Pixars first short. Go watch the pixar story if you think it is.

[randyyh]

I'm reading a book about Pixar, and it is cool to be able to see these landmark trials of CG. Incredibly creative and smart people pioneered these milestones.

[jimbolic0809]

@randyyh Smart? Maybe... I'd use the word "passionate" instead. Are you reading "The Pixar Touch?"

[randyyh]

I'm reading a book about Pixar, and it is cool to be able to see these landmark trials of CG. Incredibly creative and smart people pioneered these milestones.

[xXJHovXX]

Why does it should like donald duck mix with goofy???

[CherryViz]

It's odd. The people in 1984 would probably have been scared seeing Toy Story 3,

and I'm terrified watching this...

[Vanny22ify]

@CherryViz Moi aussi ca m'empeche de dormir André me donne vraiment la chair de poule

[JPnintendofan]

Such a deep and moving plot.

[kiraragirl200]

You can see the Bee on Bonnie's backpack in TS3

[Cubalisk]

@kiraragirl200 really??

[akumankka]

0:46 what is this song name?

[kendrakeng]

I remember when this used to air in short segments during commercials on YTV in Canada in the 90s.

[KwumpN]

Both parents were software engineers. My cartoons as a kid were usually computer animation. This one was a favourite. We could have had Playstations in the 80's. Imagine what computers can really do NOW. Imagine.

[kossmikham]

@KwumpN Yeah, you could have, if you could allocate your entire living room to the hardware, provided the monster liquid nitrogen cooling system for it, and shelled out over $1000,000 to get it. Each FRAME of the animation you see here took over an hour to generate on 10 "high performance" computers of the time, each the size of a large fridge. There are 50 frames per second in a CGI animation. You do the math. Hope at least your parents taught you math.

[BoryanRus]

@kossmikham its 24 or 25 frames per second, depending on the format

[TheZachG22]

:O O MY GOSH!!!! 1984!!!!

[J0P0Productions]

This is pretty good for fricking 1984!

[MrJonmar72]

@J0P0Productions YOU CAN SURE SAY THAT AGAIN!!:):):)

[owl368]

ah...good ol' john lasseter..:)

[supergurlswagg1]

this is so funny

[RYANL22]

Does anyone know the name of the classic score right when the bee goes up to his face? I can't find the name anywhere.

[WillWivell]

@RYANL22 Rossini's 'The Barber of Seville'

[RYANL22]

@WillWivell Thank you

[MyNameZebra]

@MrGoodBurrito Did you know that this came out nine years before VeggieTales? It did. When the Adventures of Andre and Wally B came out, Disney was still using traditional ink-and-paint; however, when the first VeggieTales came out, Disney had already switched to digital-ink-and-paint. By the way, it's a great look to CGI. It probably looks better than than some of today's stuff with CGI.

[kraptv]

Nerd in 1984: Already dead because this was so good that it was scary

Nerd in 2010: Already dead because of poor animation

[Yoshi53131]

This was not the first ever pixar short! the original was Luxo Jr. 1986 and thats why they have the lamp as the mascot!

[kraptv]

@Yoshi53131 Actually The Adventures of Andre and Wally. B is the first ever to be made but no. They didn't make Andre the mascot. It's like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse. Some people think it's Mickey, some people think it's Oswald. But guess what, it's Oswald. Now if we were to say the same thing with Andre and Wally B. and Luxo Junior, "The Adventures of Andre and Wally B." wins. I mean it would make a lot more sense if Andre was the mascot.

[hellokittychickie]

@kraptv Technically, it wasn't Pixar who made Andre and Wally B. I was Lucasfilm Computer Graphic Project. Pixar was spun out of Lucasfilm straight after.

[jayrobson88]

Music from Curb Your Enthusiasm

[erving1231]

pixar got help from MIT

[TheMetalGearChick1]

Hard to believe this was made back in '84.

[PumpAction035]

Now that is what i'm calling FULL HD 1080p, Told you Pixar ROCKS !

[Lumarie2325]

PIXAR ROCKS

[akeel456]

I swear I used to have a toy doll of Andre. It even made the same sound effects when you shake it. O:

[rohitvip]

That's it? haha

[329thInLine]

so they could make this in 1984 but not the iPad?

[theguywhokillyou]

@329thInLine yeah, rechargable batteries wern't even available then

[flirt411931]

Go first Pixar Film!

[upbsmmo4]

that soundedd like donald duck at first and then when he got stung it sounded like goofy._. wow

[90mv]

classic....bloomin classic

[fxgamer0809]

1984? HOLY SHIT!

[tritonrocks]

@fxgamer0809 Yep - just a few months after Lasseter had it out with then Disney CEO Michael Eisner. John asked Mike if the studio would fund computer animation, after he saw what could be done after working on the original "Tron" movie (which contains computer animation). Mike said "no" and the rest is history. The funny moral of the story is Disney ended up buying Pixar for many billions years later. Ironic - but true.

[Roxas42124]

moral of the story: you don't outrun a bee.

[gohan4s]

what music is that ?

[derubermax]

This is the Steamboat Willy of CGI

[2000TopGearDog]

Well Lucasfilm Ltd Make Star Wars.

[Morven23]

0:43 HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! :O

[PinkSakura22]

does anyone know the name of the flute song playing in the background?

[prichardson08]

are you guys kidding?... This isn't the first ever pixar short!... where do you think the bouncing lamp came from?...geez

[ChipMidget]

@prichardson08 The 'Bouncing Lamp' film (Luxo Jr.) was actually Pixar's second short film. The bouncing lamp wasn't even adopted as Pixar's logo until Knick Knack (their fifth short film and first rendered in 3D). When 'The Adventures of André and Wally B' was made, Pixar hadn't even been formed. The creation team was titled: 'The Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Project.' But that's okay, it's a perfectly rational thing to assume.

[ChipMidget]

@prichardson08 My bad, it wasn't until 'Toy Story' that the bouncing lamp was used as Pixar's logo.

[nicolenafl]

pixar totally changed the movie bussiness!

[WoodNinja13]

I REMEMBER THIS!

[surrie1]

1984?

That's totally unbelievable!

It would have been very difficult even if it was 1994.

I'd say it's better than the 'state of the art' computer graphics

used in hollywood blockbusters of the time.

and you know that those graphics costed a ton of money and super computers.

[Checkeredboy95]

Creepy looking.....

[toomuchomework]

this was made in 1984?

IMPOSSIBRU!!!

[ichater]

1984... I honestly thought Toy story was the first of its kind back in 1995, I feel so ignorant

[bellajacklil]

@ichater it was actually, i mean pixar did all of these, this was just the beginning, but Toy Story was the first Fully animated, computer generated, Full length Feature Film... EVER!!!!

[jcool916]

1984 u say

[smartguest]

not exactly pixar but related

[googboog]

@smartguest it's "Exactly" pixar

[smartguest]

@googboog its not a officially listed but it is a pixar short anyway

[RyanC75457]

what music is that ?

[Chooohh]

nose si an visto uno de los film de pixar un juguetito y una guagua ... wn es orrible los dibujos realmente abn progresado .. pero para ser a esos años esta bastante bien XD

[abelpower]

in the shortfilm say lucasfilm

pixar was properrty of lucasfilm?

[bellajacklil]

@abelpower I believe they helped do some of the special effects for the first star wars, they all knew each other but, maybe, lucas film has been around longer than pixar.

[dan1986ist]

@abelpower pixar started out as a part of lucasfilm then became it's own company. Watch The Pixar Story, it gives the history of Pixar.

[SnideCast]

Is the name Wall e possibly a nod to this, wally b

[joeking88]

the number of computers that were used to make this must've bn massive

[RobbanFoxer]

wow looks pretty darn good today. 1984!!!

[TheFatty2497]

This is actually better than alot of 3-d videos made today. The movement in this one is realistic, unlike alot of meteokre cartoons where they move like robots. It's the same quality as vegi-tales which came out like the late 90's.

[TheCrazyal02]

@TheFatty2497 But in one way it is very unrealistic. Do you know what happens to a bee whenb it stings? It dies a horrible, horrible death. While you are putting cream on a little bump, a bee is out there, somewhere, trying to stuff its isnides back into a new hole in its bee-hind.

[TheFatty2497]

@TheCrazyal02 I see your point, but thats not really what I was talking about. I meant like the movements he makes when he runs, and the bee flies.

[molemanninethousand]

@TheCrazyal02 Actually, only female bees die when they sting, and only when they sting something very big, with thick skin.

[djanevski]

By the legends of cg animation....

[gothicgrace]

...i thought it was Luxo Jr. ? ...the one with the lamps?

[averagejustin]

Andre sounds like Donald Duck! lmfao

[ANONONTHEJEWTUBE]

How did they render THIS in the early 80s?

[frogerzard6606]

i thouut it was tin toy

[TheFatty2497]

Crazy for 1984! Holy Crap. People must have been so scared seeing that.

[caitlinjane92]

@TheFatty2497 The info says that this did scare John Lasseter's son, LOL!

[MyNameZebra]

@TheFatty2497 I think the reason might be is because they have never seen that in a computer before.

[frynross1]

@TheFatty2497 Apparently, that's what John Lasseter's sons were like at the end of this

[guy766]

Wow i still remember this, feels good to stroll down memory lane

[zeldamaster52]

now compare this to toy story 3 and youll notice that alot has changed in 26 years

[onehundreddollars]

@zeldamaster52 No way, really?

[Carthsting]

@zeldamaster52 A lot, but not radically a lot.

[swindle2345]

@zeldamaster52 yeah this is mutch more advanced :P

[wwesoccer505]

i saw this at school

[jizzzlyn]

oh so there's 3d in the 80's

[pepeprs]

is this really from 1984?

[xBchify]

@pepeprs yep

[heylinspongesprite]

pixar has certainly come a long way...

[Tonyboy10]

this was at the end of my Toy Story tape lol

[talladegajunkie1439]

This is not a Pixar work. This was made in '84, and Pixar was created in '86.

[immblueversion]

@talladegajunkie1439 It was created by the precursors to Pixar.

[Sabored]

@talladegajunkie1439 read the description

[oldmanwithers1]

so crazy for 1984.. didnt look dated at all until the credits rolled haha

[siskavard]

Is everyone here typing with oven mitts on?

[bpmagruder]

@siskavard No

[trashface123]

So nostalgic did anyone have tiny toy stories on video?

[universeforce]

Awsome

[danyon444]

the first was a mother and a baby lamp. this isn't the first one but it is an early one

[Bryko5]

This predates it by two years. Technically, though, Luxo Jr. was the first one made by Pixar independently (this was done at Lucasfilm).

[Whatisthescore]

when he gets stung its the sound goofy would make when he'd fall down a cliff

[ailene145]

laugh from donald duck

[heloiese]

The bee is cute

[44metube44]

that wasn't the first

[ZookanProductions]

@44metube44 Yes it was

[MrChadWarden]

its weird how animated films graphics stopped evoling after final fantasy film

why games graphics evoled so slow?

[bigdaddyfranchise]

wow ff is sick but stop trying to promote it...anyways ff has better cgi than avatar? lol! i think ur slow.

[MrChadWarden]

sorry but avarutd wasnt animation it was motion capture

ff still best looking 3d animation
