From BGE Anniversary:
Now we know where "Rayman's Training" was used in the game.

That's interesting! :D
I hope we'll manage to get the full short with audio someday :)

Currently I did a bit more tweaking with the page... Nothing new but there needed to be clarification that we pretty much don't know anything about the short and what little is there just tells us "Ubi Soft put this on their reels for the press, and then did literally nothing with it for the next three decades".

I BELIEVE this short was actually a way to show Ubi Soft's CGI chops? There was a period during the mid-1990s where game companies such as Sega and to a extent Sony were positioning themselves as a pseudo-Pixar and I think Ubi Soft was trying to do the same with... *some* success (you can argue that lineage lives on with how several modern games basically *are* movies).

I think there needs to be a future reevaluation on what we currently have - that is, very little - so that when something new's found out we can update the article to be more concrete. Only time will tell!
