I just started moving it around like it was alive.

In 1987, Luxo Jr .
-
became the first three-dimensional computer-animated film nominated for an Academy Award.
-
Luxo is the one that changed everything.
-
It was a pure little story.
-

-
It was the combination of the new medium
-
and John really bringing a character to life
-
that made people say, "Oh my God."
