The Adventures of André & Wally B.

About

The Adventures of André & Wally B. (or simply André & Wally B. ) is a 1984 American animated short film produced by the Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Project , a division of Lucasfilm and the predecessor of Pixar . The short was groundbreaking by the standards of the time and helped spark the film industry's interest in computer animation. The animation in the film was by John Lasseter and was his first computer-animated project with Lucasfilm. Partially as a result of the success of this project, and others that followed, Lasseter became an executive at Pixar. The film was released on July 25, 1984, at SIGGRAPH in Minneapolis . The short involves a boy named André awakening in a forest and being confronted by a pesky bumblebee named Wally B. André tricks the bee into turning his back so that he can run away. Angry, Wally B. pursues André and eventually catches up with him, and strikes with the stinger. A collision occurs off-screen and a dizzy Wally B. reappears with a damaged stinger. Shortly, Wally B. gets hit by André's tossed hat as a last laugh for revenge.
