Hello, A month or so ago I saw a short animated movie called "The Tin Toy" made by Pixar. As the movie was generated entirely by computer graphics, some people in the department here have expressed an interest in obtaining videos of this movie. Does anybody know how we might do this? Thanks in advance for your help, Mike Dunninger

SIGGRAPH Video Review Issues 38 & 39 together contain the complete SIGGRAPH '88 Film & Video Show. The Film & Video Show included an incomplete version of Tin Toy. That same incomplete version is on SIGGRAPH Video Review Issue 38. Mike, if the people in your department are interested in seeing not just Tin Toy, but a broad spectrum of computer graphics and animation, then the Video Reviews are for you. But if what they want is the complete Tin Toy, they should buy it elsewhere. Mark gave correct pricing for the SIGGRAPH Video Reviews, but neglected to point out that in 3/4" U-matic format, each issue is on a separate tape, and that pricing is *per tape*. So in 3/4" format, the issues are $50 (member, or $60 non-member) *each* while in 1/2" VHS format the two issues are combined into a single $50 (or $60) tape. Order SIGGRAPH Video Reviews from: ACM Order Dept. PO Box 64145 Baltimore, MD 21264 (800) 342-6626 (U.S., except, Alaska, Hawaii & Maryland) (301) 528-4261 Luxo, Jr., Red's Dream and Tin Toy, all by PIXAR, are available for sale, individually or on a combined tape, from: Direct Cinema Limited Post Office Box 69799 Los Angeles, CA 90069 U.S.A. (213) 652-8000 Contact them for pricing, shipping terms, etc. -Brian Herzog herzog@sun.com

I have the video tape of "Luxo Jr.", "Red's Dream", and "Tiny Toy". We purchased it from Direct Cinema Limited, PO Box 69799 Los Angles, CA 90069 (213) 652-8000. It is a Pixar Production directed by J. Lasseter and W. Reeves and has a run time of 12 minutes. There is a nice little write up of all three video "shorts" included with the tape. I don't know the price--give'em a call and find out. -- jdm@hodge.cts.com [uunet zardoz vdelta crash]!hodge!jdm James D.

With regard to the SigGraph Video Review - is there perhaps a catalog type service in which one could order specific tapes rather than subscribing to a $50/$60 a tape service? I mean, my interest is personal rather than business - I cant write that cost off! -- Larry W.

You place an order for as many or as few issues as you wish. There is no continuing obligation whatsoever. To my knowledge, no one has ever expressed or implied (on or off the net) that this was a subscription service. -Brian Herzog herzog@sun.com
