Animated student film, 1979, by Pixar's John Lasseter

Some enterprising archivist has posted an animated student film by Pixar founder John Lasseter at YouTube.

Lasseter created it while attending CalArts in the late 1970s. BoingBoing reader John Hudgens, who points us to this find, says,

"While Lady and the Lamp is not a very good transfer of the pencil-test animation, you can clearly see Lasseter's ability to give motion and life to supposedly inanimate objects that he'd continue to develop over the years... definitely worth a look!"
