Off His Rockers is an animated short film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released in 1992. It was released theatrically accompanying the film Honey, I Blew Up the Kid.[1] It was the first Disney animated short film to use digital ink and paint via CAPS process. The short was included on the laserdisc release of Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. It has not received any other home video release.[citation needed]

Plot[]

A boy plays a video game on a console, ignoring everything around him. His wooden horse, with which he used to play, tries to make him regain his desire to play with him by doing things such as a two-legged dance, but to no avail. The horse unintentionally unplugs the video game, so the boy angrily turns it back on. However, the boy sees a picture of him with the horse on the ground and regains his desire to play with him. Thus, the child plays cowboys with the horse, riding around the room with him.

Creation process[]

The film started as a side project of director Barry Cook, who, at the time, was working at Walt Disney Animation Florida.[1] Starting with a core of six people, the project ended up involving most of the Florida studio's staff of 73 (and some in California), all of whom "donated" their time to the project beyond their official duties.[2]
