Poser's Character animation tools should not be compared to Autodesk Maya, as poser is not in the same price class or target demographic as Autodesk Maya.
The only fair comparisions would be to programs within posers price range and target Demographic.
Although Daz studio 4.12 is in the same target demographic
and has far ..far superior Character animation , motion editing and lipsynching options than poser 11.x
lets exclude Daz studio, being, a freeware application,
That leaves the $290 USD iclone pro/Character creator 3 ( base package price without import /export options)
I still have poser pro 2014 installed over on my older win 7 PC.
Most of the things ,in the first 30 seconds of the Dreamworks video, could theoreticly be painstakingly animated manually in poser by an experienced veteran animator in some bizzare scenario where he was forced ,or paid ALOT of money, to use only poser for the task.
However given a $300 USD Character animation software budget and the choice between poser and Iclone to attempt that dreamworks opening....no one but a true masochist would willingly opt for poser ,given the abysmal state of posers spline graph editor, Dope sheet, "motion layer" system and eternally broken IK system.
