Disney cg department is still crappy, but Pixar does have the best computer animation studio. Pixar can animate circles around Square. People often mistake realism with animation, they are very different things. Square has very realistic looking characters, but their movement still lacks alot of life that animation is supposed to create. Pixar may have more simplistic character designs, but the characters are more lifelike through their animation.

(Can you tell I'm an animation student?)

Square has years to go before their animators will breathe life into their characters like Pixar does.

Just watched it. Damn, the animation is simply unreal. The images are so detailed that if you check out the high-res screens you can see tiny details like the metal texture on the sword and stuff. Man, if only this is coming out in theaters it would totally crush the box office
CG graphics aren't going to make a movie a box office hit (As Spirits Within proved), if Advent Children doesn't have a great story, and is very well told, it'll flop in theatres; I think it probably would if it was released out here in theatres.

The trailer looked pretty good, I look forward to watching it. I can't wait to see Aeris' face in the movie, they keep it off screen throughout the trailer, and I hope they do a really good job on her.
