Close, but not quite.  SIGGRAPH Video Review Issues 38 & 39 together
contain the complete SIGGRAPH '88 Film & Video Show.  The Film & Video
Show included an incomplete version of Tin Toy.  That same incomplete 
version is on SIGGRAPH Video Review Issue 38.

Mike, if the people in your department are interested in seeing not
just Tin Toy, but a broad spectrum of computer graphics and animation,
then the Video Reviews are for you.  But if what they want is the complete
Tin Toy, they should buy it elsewhere.

Mark gave correct pricing for the SIGGRAPH Video Reviews, but neglected
to point out that in 3/4" U-matic format, each issue is on a separate tape,
and that pricing is *per tape*.  So in 3/4" format, the issues are $50 
(member, or $60 non-member) *each* while in 1/2" VHS format the two issues 
are combined into a single $50 (or $60) tape.
