Before Pixar, there was Hot Feet — a 5-minute fever dream from 1985.
Follow Hot Feet as he break dances around the world and outer space, breaking his way into everyone's heart! Based on the video game BREAK DANCE created by Steve Beck and published in 1984 by Epyx. This Break Dance cartoon was made in 1985 with an Apple II computer and custom "moviemation" software developed by Steve Beck and his team at Beck-Tech in Berkeley
Practical Effects
Custom Apple II software that birthed a dancing space maniac.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Steve Beck later became a visual effects artist on actual Hollywood films, proving Hot Feet was just the beginning.
