You are asking a bit for $250 software.

Yeah, but where's the gap? What is it in the million-dollars software at Dreamworks that allows them to do these simple, but wonderful things? What's the gap?

People tend to say: "oh, Poser needs photo-realism, a tzitong of effects on rendering nodes, hyper-jibby-jibby materials, real-time cloth, hair, water, fire, smoke, particles and whatnots"... but that animation doesn't have any of that.

Poser has much more capability than the ones displayed at that movie, and yet trying to replicate the first 30 seconds of the movie in Poser would be a like herculean task, taking hundreds of hours or more. I just can't get my head on what's missing for that -- it has to be something related to teamwork and productivity.
