New Open Source movie released: "Big Buck Bunny"
From the press release:
About:
Big Buck Bunny is a comedy about a well-tempered rabbit “Big Buck”, who finds his day spoiled by the rude actions of the forest bullies, three rodents. In the typical 1950ies cartoon tradition Big Buck then prepares for the rodents a comical revenge.

"The Amsterdam based ‘Blender Institute’ announced today the premiere of the short 3D animation movie 'Big Buck
Bunny'. After a production period of over six months, the short film will premiere with a grand party on Thursday 10th of April, in the hip new Amsterdam cinema ‘Studio K’.
“The primary intent of the movie was to stimulate the development of open source 3D software” said producer and
Institute director Ton Roosendaal, “But the result equals on artistic level as well as on technical ingenuity the quality of what you would expect from large animation studios”.
The movie differentiates itself mostly by its totally open character. Not only open source tools such as the 3D suite
‘Blender’ were used to create the movie, but also the movie itself - including all materials as used in the animation
studio - will be freely accessible for everybody to reuse, to learn from it or just to enjoy it...."
It should also be noted that this entire film (including compositing) was done in Blender (www.blender.org).

Although the bunny looks big enough to just pound the crap out of the squirrels.
Two of the squirrels look suspiciously like Pinky and the Brain, while the third one bears resemblance to the fat rat in Ratatouille.
At least someone here has some class (well, not really. But isn't that why we are all here?).
I was watching toons man!
