That’s true, but Aardman’s stuff doesn’t count because it’s perfect--and it’s a

Just watch the credits for any modern CGI movie (The Incredibles is my curent
favorite, although Cars has some of the most realistic rendering to date) and
you can easily see why the budgets are so large. Literally armies of
programmers, animators, sound engineers, and accountants are credited at the

My three-year-old is, surprise-surprise, very fond of Cars, to the point
that I can pretty much quote the whole thing from start to finish. That movie
is really an astonishing accomplishment, and the scrupulous attention paid to
even the most minor of background details is commendable. One is reminded of
the golden age of animated short-films wherein each cell was a work of art unto
itself.
Now, we get 30-minute commercials for the next installment in the Yu Gi Oh!
product line, 25 of those minutes are still frames with off-camera dialogue!
Rubbish!
