I like how they finish w/ the chick in the shower...That`s right, `CGI Porn` is the future. :)

Wasnt toy story one of, if not the first fully CGI full length movies?It isnt that good looking now but in 1995 it was great stuff.

CGI porn is here already, but its too ugly for its purpose.

Actually Shrek was released on May 18, 2001 while Final Fantasy: The Spirits within was released on July 11, 2001.

I agree though that Final Fantasy was the first to show realistic human CGI animation. Of course Shrek was produced in the USA, while Final Fantasy was produced in Japan. So, I would have to imagine that`s more the reason why it was mentioned as being the first rather than the dates of release.

Awesome video just the same. 5/5

Another impressive use of CGI was the TV show Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, released in 1999. While I never cared for the show, I did watch it some just because of the quality of the animation. For the time, it was excellent.
