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.

it was a good dvd but unless you want all the extras i wouldnt waste my time its a phenominal short but if you want it and a bunch of other awesome ones get "the animation show" don hertzfeld put it together with mike judge and it includes some really great stuff...the dvd was almost as good as seeing it at the actuall animation show

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

I first saw this short last year at 'The Animation Show' and was blown away by not just the graphics, but the effect and drama of the piece. It's less than seven minutes long and has no dialogue, but is dramatic, compelling, and amazing. I've never read Dujak's original story (I don't know Polish), but this adaption is very very beautiful.

Additionally, the DVD extras are great, there is a lot of extra footage and commentary, plus all sorts of computer files to look at first-hand. I definitely recommend this to anybody who likes 3D animation, short films, or both.

i haven't bought my copy of this DVD yet,but i saw The Cathedral in an animation festival a few months ago. it is a really really amazing bit of animation. in a style reminiscent of Final Fantasy game cutscenes, with an interesting and subtle plot (for a short). highly recommended, though i'm not entirely sure if just the short is worth $16... with the xtras it probably is, especially if you're an animator...

Polish animation has gone a long way from the days of "Bolek and Lolek." Tomek Baginski brings it to a new level with computer animation in his film "The Cathedral." The cartoon, running seven minutes in length, is about a man who discovers a cathedral. Once inside, however, he finds something unexpected. The simple storyline is complimented well with the great computer animation, with most of it being life-like.

"The Cathedral" has no dialogue, giving it universal appeal and sharing something in common with classic Polish animation. "The Catherdral" has an interesting story and impressive special effects. Considering how appealing this film is, I am looking forward to Baginski's future work.

The studio's latest short "fallen art" blows it away. If you're willing to pay seventeen dollars for a short wait for it. Also this is available on the Animation Show dvd with alot of other fine animated shorts, it's a much better value for your buck.

Animation is great. But what is the best on this dvd is "DVD Features". He explain creating of this animation. Great dvd & great animation.

This 3D Short Film is Awesome. I remember watching the trailer for it, 2 years ago, Winter 2001... Waiting, and waiting for it... The minute I saw it was about to come to DVD, I signed up for the newsletter on it, and the day after it came out, had a friend over here with a credit card to order it.

It was worth the 2 year wait... I highly recommend this if you enjoy 3D stuff.

As a lover of CG and a wannabe animator, this short film gave me great insperation to keep on working. this was a great animation and i highly recommend it.
