FILM CLIPS:

Bunny This page shows a clip from Blue Sky's Academy Award winning computer animated short, "Bunny." Blue Sky Studios was founded in 1987 with a mission to pioneer creatively superior photo-realistic, high-resolution, computer-generated character animation for commercials, feature films, and the entertainment industry. "Bunny" was the first film to use an advanced ambient lighting technology known as radiosity, set new standards in cinematic storytelling for the computer-animation industry. Baking alone in her kitchen, tattered, old Bunny receives a troublesome late-night visitor. A hairy moth, as battered as Bunny is, seems to be stalking her, and her attempts to remove it only make it more insistent. Bunny is forced to go through an emotional metamorphosis that sheds a whole new light on this quirky but heart-warming tale of loneliness and reunion. "Bunny," a seven-minute short film, written and directed by Chris Wedge received an Oscar March 21, 1999 for Best Animated Short Film. One of five films nominated in the category, "Bunny" took top honors during the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Oscar Night ceremonies.

DirdyBirdy This page shows a clip from my favorite animated short Dirdy Birdy. This short also won an award at Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Festival.

ToyStory2 This page shows a clip from Pixar and Disney's upcoming computer animated feature "Toy Story 2." "Toy Story 2" is the exciting, all-new sequel to the landmark 1995 computer animated blockbuster from Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios.

There are plenty of thrills as the toys get into one predicament after another in their daring race to get home before Andy does.
