Acquired Podcast(@AcquiredFM):Amazing video of a young Pete Docter animating Woody during the making of Toy Story. Because of computational limits in 1994, if you viewed a character in full-res, you couldn't get real-time feedback while animating. So they used these basic polygon approximations instead. Which are... a little terrifying.
