Young Sherlock Holmes (also known with the title card name of Young Sherlock Holmes and the Pyramid of Fear) is a 1985 American mystery adventure film directed by Barry Levinson and written by Chris Columbus, based on the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The film depicts a young Sherlock Holmes and John Watson meeting and solving a mystery together at a boarding school. The film is notable for being the first full-length film to feature a completely computer-generated character, created by Lucasfilm's Pixar Computer Animation Group. This was a historical landmark in special effects history and influenced other CGI feature films such as Pixar's Toy Story.
