December 4th! On this day in 1985, Young Sherlock Holmes was released. Okay, so this is another example of glass-adjacent glimpsing, but it is so worth taking notice of! Thanks to @vincentzager for the clip!
This movie was a landmark in CGI effects, boasting the first fully computer-generated animated character. We get to see a stained glass knight coming to life, and scaring be bejesus out of a priest. This landmark in special effects led to the new classics, like Toy Story, and their life-like animation.
Also check out this explainer of how the engineers worked out the effect. Kudos to Dennis Muren’s wife, Zara Pinfold, who came up with the idea in the jacuzzi.
