It is often thought that the first feature [[film]] to use computer graphics was ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', which attempted to show how computers would be much more graphical in the future.

Perhaps the first use of computer graphics specifically to illustrate computer graphics was in ''[[Futureworld]]'' ([[1976]]), which included an [[animation]] of a human face and hand - produced by [[Edwin Catmull|Ed Catmull]] and [[Fred Parke]] at the [[University of Utah]].
