Forget story lines or any of that…
This is the holy grail of 3D animation. I was stunned by it all.
I can understand WHY it took 5 years…
Go see it JUST for the revelation of what is possible…
I am COMPLETELY challenged and inspired…
I just saw it yesterday. I intend to purchase the DVD when it comes out and do a lot of intense studying of it. 
I agree with both of you, and I will also buy the DVD the day it’s available.
But didn’t the ending kinda suck?

I plan on picking up the DVD myself. I have a feeling I’ll be going through the thing one frame at a time.
The official website has some GREAT information as to how they did some things, as well as supporting screen shots of their progress. I found it quite informative.
