I'm also amazed that the spine of the box advertised "Pixar Renderman" export... Who would have even known what that was at the time? Was anything consumer level even using RIB files at the time?

Toy Story didn't come out until the end of 1995... If I recall, it was a popular movie but I don't recall it being an important release at the time. I kind of remember it opening and just continuing to go, before it was regarded as anything special.

Toy Story was considered - even at the time - one of the most important developments in CG, because Pixar already had a stellar reputation based on their animated shorts. Everyone in the industry, from gamers to developers, watched what Pixar were doing in the hope of picking up some useful info and, at the very least, being well entertained.
