On July 25th, 1984, Pixar's first short film (while a division of Lucasfilm), "The Adventures of Andre & Wally B." was released at SIGGRAPH in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The animation in the film was done by John Lasseter who later became the director of the earliest Pixar films when they branched off into their own company in 1986. The short was groundbreaking at the time, as it helped spark the film industry's interest in computer animation, which was relatively niche at the time. The short was later released to theaters along with "Toy Story" on November 22nd, 1995.
