Open Source Movies (Yay!)

Open Source movies were something i was hoping for a long time. Well, I have to say i'm rather glad it's here to stay.

There are two 3-d animated movies released by the blender foundation. For those of you who are wondering what in the world "blender" is, Blender is an open-source animation tool used in 3-d modeling and animation. The software was developed by the blender foundation (please correct me if i'm wrong).

The first movie release, called "Elephants Dream", was the first ever open-movie. It was released in 18th May '08 by the Blender Foundation

The 2nd movie was called "Big Buck Bunny"(or BBB for short) and got released on the 30th of May '08.

The best part about it is that since both movies are free you can download and watch them on your PC! The DVD versions are available as well at the e-store.
(I saw a little while ago that BBB is on Blu-Ray too!)

Here are the sites:

Well, i would advise everyone who can, to watch the two movies and help this project. Three cheers for open source! And a handful more for the Blender Foundation!
