“Where the Wild Things Are” - CG test from 1983
November 30th, 2006
This is a test for a project based on “Where the Wild Things Are”, it featured John Lasseter’s hand animated characters on 3D computer backgrounds done by MAGI Synthevision. This was an early Disney foray into computers, but they didn’t pursue the computer as an artistic tool any further at that time. Pixar (then Lucasfilm) saw the test and did get it; they hired Lasseter.

Wow! Nice find Floyd!
We’ve wanted to see that for years. Still holds up really well too.

I just wanted to add that I’ve also read (and been told) that Glen Keane animated on this as well. I’m not sure how much of it is John Lasseter’s animation, and how much is Keane’s, or if they maybe both animated a character? Anyone?

I think, if I’m not mistaken, the CG animation is all Lasseter and the traditional is Mr. Keane. I think.
