So in effect, ED was the curtain call for stop-motion animation, as far as big-budget sci-fi films are concerned. And oh (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

But considering it came out one year after T2 and one year before Jurassic Park, it was essentially already a throwback to an era whose time had past. A eulogy of sorts. As was (...)
