The film is notable for being the first attempt in CGI to use Squash & Stretch animation techniques and create non-geometric shapes that could do that in CG, and also for its then-complex 3D backgrounds with a particle system for the leaves, and the cartoon was lit like a Maxfield Parrish painting. It included on the 1993 CGI short film anthology ''WesternAnimation/{{Imaginaria}}'', and, owing to the staff behind it, it is also nominally considered to be the first of the WesternAnimation/PixarShorts.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Andre. It's hard to tell what he is.
* AmbiguousRobot: Many sources claim that Andre is an android. Though it's not certain if they're official or not.

With all due respect, I don't think it's all that necessary to put a link for the latest Pixar short here.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: While its crew would go on to form Pixar, this first film was actually done as a project for Lucasfilm. Also, for a company that has "Story is King." as it's mantra, its somewhat odd that their very first film has no plot to speak of. (Granted, at the time just having something resembling characters and a plot at all was considered impressive for a CGI film.)

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Almost all of the films soundtrack is made of two PublicDomain music cues; the opening cue and second half of the film are from Music/GioachinoRossini's ''Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville'', and the Spring section of Music/AntonioVivaldi's ''Four Seasons'' is used for the credits.

** André's appearance is based on the ''WesternAnimation/PlaneCrazy'' design of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. His laugh sounds like [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck Donald Duck's]], and he also bellows a scream that sounds like WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} at the end.
