This is the first short made by the set of people who went on to be Pixar's founders and the company's core creative people. It is much more of proof of concept experimental work than a true story. Indeed, the storyline-such as it is-is a basic scenario and largely exists to allow the filmmakers to test various animation techniques, i.e. 3d models, point blur etc. To that end the film is enjoyable as a piece of history. On its own the short is rather dull and simple-the animation is *exceedingly* dated.
I do like that the short still has the distinctiveness of Pixar.
