Blowin' in the Wind is a animated short created by Pixar in the early 1980s. The short is a short test animation made by the company in 1985, similar to other test animations such as Beach Chair and Flags and Waves, although much longer than those. The short film features a simulation of grass being blown by wind while the Bob Dylan song of the same name plays in the background. The short was never released on any public home media. The only release it got was through its inclusion on the Made in Point Richmond DVD given to employees before the company moved locations.
Existence
In the early 2000s, after the completion of For The Birds, Pixar made an employee-exclusive DVD called Made In Point Richmond.[1] As the name suggests, it contained a wealth of non-film content produced by the studio before the move from Point Richmond, California to Emeryville, California, including the various short films produced at the studio up to that point.
Among the short films, trailers, F/X work, television work and party videos is a previously unknown short film called Blowin' in the Wind. It is chronologically listed between The Adventures of André and Wally B. and Beach Chair, and has a copyright date of 1985. As it doesn't have significant mention outside of the DVD, it was assumed it was a simple test animation like Beach Chair and Flags and Waves, and much like Flags and Waves, it was created by animator Bill Reeves [2] While Beach Chair and Flags and Waves were re-released on Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1, Blowin' in the Wind was never publicly released.
It was skeptical if the short was even a real thing or just an error from the disc, until the short was uploaded by user jarets35 who owns the disc itself, although in low quality.
