Editorial Reviews

"The Cathedral" is a Tomek Baginski’s almost seven-minute short animated movie, based on the story of Jacek Dukaj. The movie got an award at Siggraph 2002 (Best Animated Short), the biggest world-wide market of computer graphic and special effects that took place in San Antonio in Unites States. In a jury verdict from Siggraph 2002 we can read: "This submission was selected as the Best Animated Short by unanimous vote of the Computer Animation Festival Jury. The extraordinarily rich visualization achieved in 'The Cathedral' was a seduction for the CAF jury. It was viewed repeatedly, and each time the jury became more entranced. It is a beautiful animation - very representative of the outstanding work we received from small, highly creative production companies in this country and internationally". "The Cathedral" is seen as one of the best in this movie category, what allowed to try and get Academy nomination in the Best Animated Short category in year 2003. "The Cathedral" hasn’t got an Oscar(R), but got some other rewards in 2002 and in 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Animation, But You Can Find It Elsewhere, June 20, 2006

I don't own this. But I have seen it. It is included on another DVD I own called "The Animation Show". Its full of other cool animations. I guess if you love this particular one are planning to research it and want to spend the money, get this. I just wanted to let you know that its available elsewhere, and you get more of what most of us like most about it anyway... the animation.

Beautiful piece, elegant and inspiring. The DVD is also packed 3dsMax models (for the budding modeller), high resolution plates (excellent for desktops). Cant rate it high enough
