The one that started it all. Currently in the middle of the book Steve Jobs and into the Pixar years. It's been awhile since I have watched this amazing short film.

The very first video I saw by Pixar and was blown away. This was when animation was still a big deal to me (it still is). I loved the possibilities that can unfold. Have not been disappointed by the boys.
This reminds me of years before this, I bought Illusions of Life (http://www.amazon.com/ILLUSION-LIFE-DISNEY-ANIMATION/dp/0786860707/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327428704&sr=8-1), about Disney Animation. Anything and everything was in that book.
I distinctly remember, the training techniques they outlined which included animating a sack of flour (http://techandpro.blogspot.com/2009/04/corn-sack.html). If you could bring a sack of flour to life, you can do anything. Same with the lamp above. A perfect example of imagination.
