>>>outstanding. The character animation was more refined than the character animation in Pixar's short "Geralds Game", which was the high water mark for me before "Shrek".

I haven't seen "Shrek" yet, but I've seen that the animation is well done, and I've heard that it's an entertaining movie. And, that's generally why I go see a movie; to be entertained. If I want to be educated, I'll read a book.

>>>I enjoyed it as a movie rather than as a technology demo reel.

Here's a movie that looks like a tech demo. They went for the "photo realistic" look, and if they haven't gotten it, they're a hair away. IIRC, they (the studio) got so involved in detail, that they were down to rendering (something like) 12 frames/month at one point. It's definitely visually stunning, and hopefully it's as well writing as it is animated.
