Germany finally has its own fully animated CGI feature a la "Toy Story", "Shrek" etc. It's called "Back To Gaya" and will be shown in theatres starting March 18, 2004.

There are also lots of links in other languages like English, just do a web search for your country.
This, by the way, is what Google was asking me when I tried to find out if 3ds max was used for this CG animation fim:
Google-Gaya!
(the German "Meinten Sie: ..." means "Did you mean to search for: ..." under the English version of Google)
For non-insiders: The 3D modeling and animation program 3ds max - although extensively used as game creation tool (i.e. Diablo 2, Warcraft 3 etc.) in the past years - was never really accepted as professional film creation 3D tool, which is always a hot debate among the 3D fans :)
