''[[Imaginaria]]'' was a compilation of 13 CGI shorts released by Miramar on VHS and laserdisc in [[The Nineties|1993]], who produced the popular The Mind's Eye series. Most are multiple shorts edited together, but on the whole it's not as confusing as most examples of the method.. It's notable for including ''[[Pixar Shorts|The Adventures of André and Wally B]]'', how well most of the shorts have aged and for [[Ear Worm|its many, MANY memorable songs and instrumentals]] by Gary Powell.
 
The full list of shorts, according to [[The Other Wiki]]:
# '''"Imaginaria"''' Where the audience is invited on a journey to a wonderous land of magical sights.
# '''"Anything Is Possible"''' A continuation of the above, where we meet: a Fountain Pen with a taste for dancing and fancy dress, a fat airplane, [[Reality Warper|reality warping]] butterflies, and a naked artist figure model. The wooden kind.
# '''"Locomotion"''' Engine No. 9 has difficulty crossing a tressel on the way to his destination. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
# '''"The Adventures of André and Wally B."''' Andre wakes up in the woods to find a bee coming for him.
# '''"All Shapes and Sizes"''' A catchy song set to [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. One thing's for sure, they're always changing.
# '''"Rubber Duckies"''' [[Mind Screw|A duck spawned from an inner-tube explores... some sort of factory/nursery/studio]].
# '''"Gourmet Records"''' A guy hungry for music, and records, looks for just the right song. [[Uncanny Valley]] Ensues.
# '''"Night Magic"''' [[X Meets Y|Basically Toy Story with Brave Little Toster in the city... Also, naked aliens.]]
# '''"Down the Road"''' Watch as your tour guide drives you through the set of [[Earthquake]] and past the [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|evil paperwork]], all while singing about the joys on the road.
# '''"Lucy & Remo"''' The epic story of two birds in love, and the mysterious window that separates them.
