	Obviously not.

	Pixar's works are _Red's Dream_ and _Luxo Jr._.  _Red's Dream_ was
their 1987 SIGGRAPH submission, and Luxo was for 1986.  Both of them were
created by John Lasseter (sp?), an ex-Disney animator.  Someone at Pixar may
wish to clarify or expand on this information.  (You listening, Craig?)

	_Oilspot and Lipstick_ was a Disney submission for 1987.

	There's an interesting side-story to _Res'd Dream_, but I'll get
into that only if you *really* want me to.		:-)
