did anyone else get suckered in to seeing this one? i mean, i knew it was gonna be bad.....(its got mammoths building pyramids) but figured i might enjoy the all the prehistoric CGI animals.
now, sure so i used to be a professional film animator, so i'm pretty picky - but comeon' galloping mammoths? galloping? had the animators of this film ever done their homework they would have known that elephants can't run, but are capable of a very fast walk. the sabre-tooth was equally appallingly animated ("animation" is the movement only) and all the animals were rendered so poorly that they looked like they all suffered from mange and the lighting didn't match. i read on wikipedia the director cut back teh amount of fur on the creatures by 50% to save rendering time/cost so theres your answer as to why right there. anyhow, just wanted to know if anyone else watched this abomination and notice the multitude of "airborne" stampeding mammoths.

i used to work at disney before they bought pixar and phased out hand-drawn animation altogether.
unfortunately the few films i worked on, like brother bear 2, all went straight to DVD... (which wasn't surprising, since despite a-grade animation, the stories were shocking!)

Why don't you write and animate your own short film about zoos.

Some years ago I saw a "cave-man" type film called Quest For Fire. It was before all the flash special effects they have today, and so the "prehistoric" animals in the film were all modern animals made-over to look like earlier species.
The "sabre-tooth" cats were a bunch of rather placid looking lions with large plastic dentures. The "mammoths" were not too bad, actually. They were obviously Asiatic Elephants but were covered in long hair and had built-up (prosthetic) humped shoulders and skulls. One unforgivable sin, however, was a mother and baby bear. The cub was a Brown and its "mother" was an American Black. ("What are you complaining about?" asked my wife. "No-one else would notice!")

a while back i started a thread just for out-of-context-animals in films. we should revive it!
unfortunately, being both opinionated, an animal fanatic, an animator, an artist, and film buff - my friends hate seeing movies with me. i sit there and go "awwww!" and they say "what" and i respond "oh crew member in shot!" or "capuchins don't come from africa" or "that's so obviously not actually shot in texas" or "the CG dinosaur doesn't cast any shadows" or "what did that scene do for the development of the story?"....etc ara - i will find that film.
