Technological Threat is a 1988 American animated short made by Brian Jennings and Bill Kroyer and was produced by Kroyer Films. It was an example of early computer animation, integrated with traditional animation, and is itself an allegory for the possibilities of combining the two.^[4] The robots and backgrounds were drawn based on computer-generated 3D models,^[5] while the dogs and wolves were drawn by hand.
