There were many short clips from many famous computer generated animations. One of them, about some dracula castle up on top of a scary mountain with lightning was from a John Wiznieski of Digital Equipment Corporation. Unfortunatly, I have lost access to that media. (Another was Molly Maid, which was parodied in an Austin Powers movie when in a submarine and Austin is on top of Mini-me with a white coat and tries to walk in the corridor before being asked to enter a room for the physical. Not many people would have caught that one, but the movements were a direct spoof of that original computer animation). And of course, there was the Apple "Luxo Jr" animation. So Wiz's animation was right up there, listed with the very famous. ------------------------------ End of INFO-VAX 2007.188 ************************
