According to CG lore, the title of Pixar's first short "The Adventures of André and Wally B." (1984) is an allusion to the film "My Dinner with André" (1981).

However, I have just discovered there is an earlier TV movie titled  "Jimmy B. & André" (1980), ostensibly the basis for the later TV series "Webster"

 

I wonder if "Jimmy B. & André" was in the back of someone's mind at Pixar when they needed a title for their short.

Interesting, I always thought the first one was "The Adventures of Andre and Wally B" (an actual bee).

I was always catching the festivals of animation, even before Spike and Mike's version.

PDI's first animation was "A Long Ray's Dream Into Light", IIRC. 

They also played a bunch of other old ones I forgot... the old days. :-)
