Elephant's Dream

I just watched Elephant's Dream and am interested to hear other people's throughts. For those who don't know of it, it is a 3D animated short film created entirely using open source software (download)

From a technical standpoint, it blew me away. So polished, and visually stunning -- but what the heck is the storyline? I simply could not follow it.

Nonetheless an amazing achievement, and hopefully a sign of things to come. I had no idea Blender was capable of so much.

I was just as confused as you were and equally blown away by the quality. I've never used blender but it certainly does a good job. Open Source tools typically do well but they usually seem to lack that polished feel.
