  • I find that this music doesn't tell the story as well in comparison to the original (or other one).

  • I never knew their names were Stanley & Stella! I have them running right now on a Pioneer demo disc from a laserdisc player my late husband & I bought about a year or so before dvd's hit & blew them out of the water. I used to play it on a repeat loop as I unwound after working 3-11 pm shift. Now I can put this on my iPod- it should look awesome on my iMac! Finding this is quite a memory-flogger...

  • I used to see this all the time while waiting for Reboot to start!

  • I must say that the music I know for this video was much better. The song from James Reynolds made this much more lovely.

  • Oh my God, the nostalgia!! I can't take it!!!

  • Amazing. The levels of retro-goodness here could cause an explosion.

  • Color balance is off here, but I can only comment on this upload.

    I have this animation on 2 Laserdiscs, Pioneer Laser Optics II (1989) and The Mind's Eye (1990). The latter has a different soundtrack, but I prefer the original. This and Pixar's "Luxo Jr." broke the bars for animation. Both very cute, both very emotional. Only thing I could gripe about this animation is how can the (non-penguin) birds swim?

  • @TheSweaterKid Bird meets fish, bird falls in love with fish, bird is willing to go through anything to be with said fish. It's beautiful, just love it.

  • Manly Tears

    For Nostalgia as reached critical mass!

  • This video still fascinates me. It is interesting on so many levels: It's made by a company called Symbolics, and it Is symbolic, of the moment when computer graphics broke the boundary between an experimental device from the engineering world to a powerful artistic device that could interact with a viewers emotions. And the symbolic 'breakthrough' moment when computer animation took that step is this self same animation, from 1986.

  • In the end, all that birds dive into the water, don't they? That seems to me they do.
