• About the Film

    There's nothing like a restful

    nap in a pleasant wooded valley. But when André awakens and is greeted by a pesky yellow-and-black striped insect with a nasty stinger, he ends up taking a quick (and painful) hike.

  • The Characters

    André thinks he's a clever guy,

    able to outsmart and outrun a bee. But like all stinging insects, Wally B. knows better and can chase down any target in a matter of seconds.

  • Pushing the Envelope

    Though this film was made

    at Lucasfilm, Pixar is featuring it here because it was the first time John Lasseter worked on a 3D animated film. André and Wally B. was very restrictive—only geometric shapes could be animated—but Lasseter pushed the envelope by asking the tech team for a teardrop shape that could be bent several ways, thus creating Wally B.
