  Not a flame, but:

  a) I know of many Eurodemos that use ray-traced images. And what do you mean 
     by "art" ?

  b) I'm sure there's stuff similar to Luxo Jr being produced in Europe.

  c) Luxo Jr (if I'm not mistaken) had scenes that were rendered on   
     supercomputers such as Crays. A comparison of Pixar's work with Amiga 
     demos is preposterous, and unfair.

  d) You still find the odd Eurodemo with good, original Vectors :)
