My graphics professor mentioned this.  He said that you can get it by
contacting Pixar and buying it from them -- for about $25,000 (ouch!).

BTW, he also said that he recognized a couple of TV ads as Pixar's
work -- a boxing Listerine bottle and a bouncing straw piercing an
orange.  I have doubts about the Listerine ad, since that one did NOT
do refraction and attenuation properly, but the straw one had the
classic eyes on the straw that Pixar likes to use.  If Pixar is
putting out Ads like these, maybe the company is doing ok after
all....
