Has anyone seen that movie? It's absolutely amazing! You can't even tell that the characters are 3D! It's in Japanese, but it has english subtitles, so halfway through the movie you can swear you're speaking the language yourself user added image

I say it's definitely worth a look :nod:

Lol, I hear different stories. I've read sites saying it was made in Maya, and more saying 3ds Max. Perhaps it was made in both?
