Discover which, among all the animations that receive the Disney seal, became the first to achieve success by using 3D technique in its plot
After the release of “Luxo Jr.” (1986), Pixar entered into an extremely important partnership with Disney to use the Computer Animation Production System, CAPS! This is because this type of art in which images gain movement through software was used to create the first successful animated feature film by companies that also used the 3D technique.
What was Disney’s first successful 3D animation?
The film in question was “Toy Story”! According to the Disney portal in Brazil, this was the label’s first 3D film to achieve success, earning more than US$300 million.
The technology, which through the use of three geometric dimensions (height, depth and width) gave more life to the scenes starring Woody and his friends, became fully 3D in 2010, when the film was re-released in cinemas in the United States. Three-dimensional effects were inserted “in some moments of the film, which should highlight not only the color, but the quality of Pixar’s animation”, as described by the portal O Globo.
How did Toy Story come about?
Pixar was created in 1979 as part of Lucasfilm’s Computer Division, and became independent in 1986, the year in which they released the short film “Luxo Jr.”, directed by John Lasseterwhose scenes followed the game between a ball with a red star drawn in the center, and a white lamp — which is now part of the opening of the studio’s films.
The launch marked the debut of CAPS, which brought new possibilities to the studio. This is because, until then, Pixar only released short films and commercials for TV, but with the creation of this new animation system, the company aroused the curiosity of Disney, with whom it began a partnership that first resulted in the launch of “Bernardo and Bianca in the Land of Kangaroos”, from 1990, where CAPS was used to help create a traditional animation.
In 1991, there was a new contract between the companies, now, to create the first feature film made entirely with CAPS: Toy Story! Released in 1995, the plot is not only the first animation using CAPS, but also the first over 70 minutes by Pixar, it follows Andy’s toys, which, when they are far from humans, come to life!
The synopsis says: “Buzz Lightyear is boy Andy’s new and sophisticated toy astronaut. What Buzz didn’t imagine is that Woody’s jealous crisis, who until then was Andy’s favorite toy, would get them into such trouble. . Away from the room, the two will have to come together to escape the danger.”
Going down in history, creation yielded John Lasseterdirector of Toy Story, the Oscar for the development and inspired application of techniques, in 1996. The development of the story, however, was inspired by a Pixar curate, “Tin Toy” (1988), where a tin toy discovers the value of having a human to play with.
