That singing alien animation was great, those head movements were well done. No one mentioned Treasure planet or Titan Ae, both of those had some great CG scenes. FF had better graphics but Shrek had more heart. Chars in Shrek were easier to empathize with. If you can't make chars that the audience can bond with, your movie is dead meat no matter how big your renderfarm is. > but nobody mentioned the realism of the crow of the opening credits of warcraft 3... DANG! the realsim is stunning... < Blizzard has had some wonderful intro movies and cut scenes, remember the opening movie for diablo. Had a crow in that one too. Check out the cut scenes for Diablo 2 and the addon. The scene with the lone barbarian defying Baal is well done. Warcraft 3's cut scenes look good, the Arthas's slaying of his father was a well done cut scene.
