A white dog with a black nose and brown ears looks skeptically at the present he's just unwrapped, a red dog collar with spikes and a matching leash.
A man made out of clay sits at a table. His head is bald and his ears stick out. He's wearing a green sweater vest and a red tie. In his hand is a pink present wrapped with a shiny gold bow.
A clay dog's hand uses a pencil to cross out a date on the calendar, the 12th. It's labeled "Gromits birthday"

Ian Failes of before and afters has an utterly fascinating article about the tests to add motion blur to Phil Tippett's stop motion dinos for Jurassic Park. While I knew of those attempts, I don't recall ever hearing that they used MORF (used in Willow) to try to make the dinos more realistic. Eventually the CG tests paved the way for a #VFX revolution
