Shrek and Final Fantasy are too different things. Both movies are exceptional, and you can't compare one to the other. Shrek was made for a younger set, more character visual - the ogre, donkey for example. The story telling is very different from Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy is more adult oriented, more darker in story telling. Both were created differently. Maya was used almost 95% with Final Fantasy, as well as custom made plugins for Maya to create hair etc. were used. Where as more storyboarding and other 3D programs where use with Shrek. I do think Maya was used here as well though but in a different capacity. It just shows, it's not the programs that create the movie. It is how each program is harnassed and used by the animators.
