 Director John Lasseter's first experience with computer animation was during his work as an animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation, when two of his friends showed him the light-cycle scene from "Tron".It was an eye-opening experience which awakened Lasseter to the possibilities offered by the new medium of computer-generated animation.Lasseter tried to pitch "The Brave Little Toaster" as a fully computer-animated film to Disney, but the idea was rejected and Lasseter was fired.
