Directed by: John Lasseter Then-Vice President of Walt Disney Feature Animation Tom Schumacher said they "couldn't have made in traditional animation. This is a story that can only really be told with three-dimensional toy characters." As the world's first fully computer-animated feature film, Pixar undertook a colossal task in creating a world that felt liveable, deep, and real. The obvious implications of this are apparent: every drop of water, blade of grass, every thread of every piece of furniture and every movement of every character had to receive the same amount of attention from animators. A 27-man team used over 400 computer models to animate the characters, using motion controls encoded into each character to achieve joy, sadness, a purse of the lips or a sarcastic roll of the eyes. Woody alone had 723 individual motion controls, most of which were located at various points in his computer-generated face. The less-obvious implications in an endeavor such as "world-building" is that drawing the world doesn't make it automatically feel real. "We had to give the world a sense of history," said director Lasseter. Thus the Pizza Planet truck is beat up, the hardwood floors are scuffed, the gutters are dented and the streets are potholed. This level of detail is what launched Toy Story into a rightfully-deserved spot as King of the Computer-Generated Features. Influenced: Oh, just the entire future of the animated film industry.
