I took computer animation classes in college. We were shown some of Pixar's shorts, including: Luxo, Tin toy, and Red's Dream. The range of emotion shown in these early films is amazingly wonderful.

Lasseter has produced some brilliant films and shorts that stand the test of time and can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
