I was watching this one and noticed it was a helluva lot crisper on my TV than I remembered other DVD releases of theatrical CGI productions being. If you've got Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, do a framegrab or three and note the graininess. It was mastered from digitized filmstock, not the original MPEGs and the (lack of) quality shows. Both Shrek and FF are produced with Maya. Or, for that matter, go look at the first Shrek movie. Plenty of artifacting around the edges of the characters if you watch it fullscreen on a computer monitor. S2 is smooth as butter comparatively, like the studio decided to re-render the entire thing for DVD resolution, on highest quality compression. Unfortunately the other side effect of that is that the sync isn't always perfect, as if it hadn't been mixed by the original crew.
