That reminds me of a japanese animated movie (as opposed to "cartoon", which
has certain derogatory connoctations) called "Lensman" that was loosely based
on the novels by EE "Doc" Smith.  There was some computer animation in it that
was done, I think, by Rochester Institute of Technology or University of
Rochester.  There was another animated flick called "Golgo 13" that also had
an interesting computer generated helicopter attack-on-a-skyscraper done by
another university here.
