Video Title:
Pixar - Luxo Jr.
Description:
“Luxo Jr. sent shock waves through the entire industry—to all corners of computer and traditional animation. At that time, most traditional artists were afraid of the computer. They did not realize that the computer was merely a different tool in the artist's kit but instead perceived it as a type of automation that might endanger their jobs. Luckily, this attitude changed dramatically in the early ’80s with the use of personal computers in the home. The release of our Luxo Jr. . . .reinforced this opinion turnaround within the professional community.” —Edwin Catmull, Computer Animation: A Whole New World, 1998 Courtesy of Pixar Animation Studios © Disney/Pixar
