I dunno...when Shrek roars at the donkey, the donkey's hair (horses and donkeys supposedly have hair, not fur) moves as though it was real. They seemed to intentionally go for a charicature of real life that looked like real life characters, if that makes sense. The backgrounds were obviously that in some scenes, 3d in others, and the MoCap and lipsynch could have been better, but the skin textures, trees, and much of the background and prop work looked real. A friend that went with my wife/kids and me kept saying "that's done blue screen, right?". Anyway. The bar may be raised by SquareSoft, but Shrek gives them a higher bar to raise. GrayMare
