★★★★★ · Way Ahead Of His Time! · WildeGeist · 2011-10-09

I am no "expert", but looking at the date, and comparing the work with others of the day, I think its way ahead of its time. The subtle effects like "3D", all hand done! There was a scene where the monkeys in a tree were throwing things down, and they bounced in every direction. At the same time! I have a difficult time doing that with my high tech programs on OS X!!!! Pretty amazing work in my opinion.
