“Beyond Tron” – Awesome Documentary about CGI circa 1984

 UPDATE: Disney has already had this clip removed from YouTube! Guess you gotta be quick these days.

This incredible piece of retro-future starring William Katt from tee-vee’s Greatest American Hero was originally broadcast to showcase the state of the art in 2D and 3D animation. The series has been posted in seven parts on YouTube and has some great clips of the early pioneers including a young John Lasseter. The bad VHS transfer of the clips makes the whole thing that much more adorable.

    This compelling movie can be found on TPB under the searchname disney educational films. I found it interesting that they showed CGI clips from Where the wild things ar animated movie, that is not expected to come out in theatres until 2009. The rest of the movie is very retro, classic stuff if you grew up in the 80′s. This documentary rules!!!!!!!!!
