Tejas Nair There is no story at all, and if you were to extract one, you would end up with an inconclusive bag of poorly written lines.What the story talks about is the pursuit of a bee to sting its prey, who seems to be a clever guy. Then a chase begins only to make the audience disappointed at the end. The one minute short makes no sense at all and after that last frame, I was still expecting some inference.Talking about the animation, I would say it is a lousy one and taking in account the year of release, it works fine. But with a shallow story and no message, kids might take a gander and give out a wry smile. Poor!

voxhumana This is an extraordinary and historic film, however viewers should not assess this film by the standards of current animation, but rather in its (truly ground-breaking) historical context. This film is the CG animation equivalent of the first flight of the Wright Brothers (which lasted only 12 seconds). Much like that famous first flight in 1903, this 1984 film paved the way for all that has followed. It is not the first CG animation ever made, but it is the first to feature a plot, characterization and expression, motion blur, and deformations (eg stretching, squashing). When it was demonstrated at the 1984 SIGGRAPH there was a crowd response bordering on hysteria, as nothing even close to this had ever been done before.So watch this film with appropriate awe and reverence, for it is the birthing of an entire new art form which we completely take for granted now.

emasterslake This is the first and earliest Pixar short. It's also the oldest CGI short I know so far. It's only about 2 minutes long and the theme is similar to a Chuck Jones or Looney Tunes short. Only has 2 characters one who is Andre a Greenish Runner and Wally B. a Bee with 4 feet.The animation is not bad for a CGI short from 1984. And this is made way before Pixar became well known. The 2 main and only characters are somewhat cartoony but very memorable. It's only 2 minutes long, but it's worth watching. You're able to see it at Pixar's official web page.After you see I bet you just wish they made more shorts about Andre and Wally B.Every Animation studio has it's own start and this is Pixar's start to fame and glory.i give this one 7/10. Very good for a 2 minute short.

Robert Reynolds This is a short from Pixar, their first, I believe. It looks it, too. The animation is good, but there's not much here to speak of and it looks more like test footage than a full, coherent cartoon-a dry run, if you will. They did much better work with later efforts. Not bad, but nothing special here either. Worth seeing.
