Pixar showed "Knick Knack" at SIGGRAPH using polarized projection and
sold an anaglyph t-shirt featuring the main characters the year it
debuted.  The VHS copies are mono.

Knick Knack was the last animated short Pixar did before shutting down
their animated shorts department to concentrate on commercials and
feature length films.  It stars a snowman in a snow globe trying to
get out so that he could party with the rest of the souvenirs.  The
soundtrack was by Bobby McFerrin.

"Jeri's Game" is the first animation from the new Pixar animated
shorts department.
