I agree that much of the Computer Animation Show left something to
be desired (regarding artistic quality, not just spinning logos etc)
as has been bandied around on the net lately.

However, no one has mentioned the three (3) Pixar creations:
	- Red's Dream
	- TinCan and OilSlick (sp?)
	- Junior

All three segments featured very life-like 3D characters which shows
how impressive Pixar's stuff is. ALSO, the segments had a nice amusing
story line which didn't bore you or get-on-your-nerves-with-annoying-
techno-pop-blasting-in-the-background :-)
My favorite was "Junior", which has two table lamps which act extremely
life-like (as real characters). The crowd enjoyed that one best too,
judging by the applause the night I saw it (it was also the last segment
presumably as a "show-stopper").
Don't try to tell me these 3 Pixar segments had no artistic merit apart
from the actual animation, especially "Junior"!!
