Post your favourite crap 90s or earlier computer graphics virtual reality movie films.

Before CG animators were allowed to leave their basements, they used the technology to see what tits might look like. (SFW)

We may laugh now, but rotating cubes were notoriously difficult to animate in 1990. CONTAINS FLASHING IMAGES.

Actually by the same people as above, after they found the 'Generate Fractal Landscape' option in the Effects menu.

A 1985 simulation of what your head would look like if it were a pillowcase stuffed with rocks.

This doesn't count because not only is it pretty good, but it ran in realtime on a 486 PC. Video files in those days were huge and awful, so it made a lot more sense to distribute graphics demos that rendered in realtime than pre-rendered videos.

Toy Story still holds up, thanks to its incredible character animation and art direction.

I had trouble dating this, because the CGI is is 1990 but the content isn't. It's from 1998 - two years after Toy Story. No excuse.

Prodigy were pretty good at crap CGI


I wonder how many hundreds of dollars it would have cost to fix the camera moving through solid objects.

Edit: Looks like the Fire and One Love videos were done by the same people.

I remember watching this when it debuted and knowing that it was poo poo. The success of Jurassic Park really hosed up a lot of mid-late 90's movies because they shoehorned in cheap CGI.
