When I was growing up I really wanted to be a Disney animator even though I had no idea how to go about that. I was also always interested in computers. My family had Atari computers, but one summer I bought an Amiga with money I earned washing dishes, because it had more colors and better games. Eventually my dad bought me a program called the Disney Animation Studio which let you make your own animations. The pencil test examples were from real Disney films and looked beautiful, however, drawing with a mouse at 320x200 was pretty much impossible and scanners back in those days were not cheap. It did give me an insight into the whole process though.
