1983 animation test by Disney, directed by John Lasseter (who went on to direct and produce most of the Pixar films, including Toy Story). Back then Disney owned the film rights to the Where The Wild Things Are books... they didn't use them, though, so they lost them. Check out this amazing test, which combined traditional hand-drawn, 2D animation with then-state-of-the-art 3D computer animation!

a little harsh, sure. disney may be "pioneers" of animation but they are complete retards when it comes to actual storyline and sticking to the original source. just look at what they did to the grim brothers stories.
i have enjoyed some of disney's work.... the really old short cartoons of mickey mouse or goofy. anything past that, no.
walt disney was a nazi too.

I want to see the Spike Jonze version if they don't keep re-filming it!
I wish I could see the whole thing completed. The soft, squash-and-stretched tradigital look of Max and the dog is beautiful. Lasseter really knows his work.
I'd say it's a shame Disney was dumb enough to fire him, but if they hadn't there would be no Pixar.

thank god disney didn't make one.
they destroy every story they get their hands on. just look at what a joke they made alice in wonderland into. most people don't even know its a book.
that's a little harsh. Disney has made some truly wonderful works, and when under decent administration they were the forerunners in pioneering a lot of crucial animation tools.

This video describes the early digital-ink-and-paint system as "stretching a layer of skin over a wire-mesh frame". No wonder it wasn't considered good enough for the then-studio head Ron Miller...
