| Cassiopeia | comment |
Cassiopeia is a Brazilian feature-length CGI animated feature released in 1996, three months after the release of Toy Story.The film follows a group of alien heroes contacted by a planet called Ateneia located in the Cassiopeia constellation, which is under attack by a fleet of lifeforce-draining invaders, facing many perils and meeting a new friend along the way.While the movie was released in 1996, production was started as early as 1992, with over 17 computers used to generate the 3D animation and model rendering for each scene. A lengthy trial process coupled with some of the computers being stolen during post-production - meaning several scenes had to be reanimated - delayed the movie's release by a wide margin. This has set off quite a few debates over whether or not this means Cassiopeia can be legitimately considered the first feature-length film entirely animated in CGI, even before Toy Story (whose production started in 1993).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Cassiopeia / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: Perhaps due to the animation's limits at the time, none of the alien characters of the movie have legs, instead floating just above the ground or slithering in the case of the villains. Leonardo comes the closest to having any sort of ground-based movement through a monocycle-like appendage. The invaders have insect-like elements to their design as well, with long fleshy "tails", clamping pincers on their mouths and large eyes. | |

| Cassiopeia / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: Galileo, Leonardo's tiny silent friend, is the one who transforms Liza into a moon. No reason is given as to how he's able to do this or why, with Leonardo only being able to explain it as "things from his planet of origin".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Cassiopeia / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Liza, through Galileo, sacrifices herself to become a moon whose celestial body is able to reflect light energy back to Ateneia, powering up Leonardo's light cannon and allowing them to destroy the invaders' communication block around the planet's sector, which in turn lets the Central Galactic Council's fleet arrive to arrest them. | |
