Cassiopeia is a 1996 Brazilian animated feature film, produced and released by NDR Filmes in Brazil on April 1, 1996.

The film is an adventure about the invasion of planet Ateneia by intruders trying to steal their energy. This film claims to be the first entirely computer-generated feature film. The earlier Toy Story employed clay models that were later scanned and digitized, while Cassiopeia used only software to create its visuals.[1] The film was released soon after Toy Story.[2]
