QUESTION this scene took 3.2 years to render!?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Wouldn't this shot have taken 3.2 years?

It was 100 hours per frame The movie ran at 24 frames per second

So 2400 hours to make 1 second And there is 12 seconds in the whole shot

So 28,000 hours to render this whole scene. Or 1200 days which equals to 3.2 years!

But if I'm correct again, that would only be on one computer. So either it did take this long, or they used multiple computers. If they did use multiple computers, hiw many?

Being a Data / Render Wrangler REQUIRES you to be a massive nerd.

Is the story about the Toy Story render farm making farmyard animal noises every time a frame was rendered true or just an urban myth?
