Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Yesterday they showed Final Fantasy here on german television. I never saw it at the movies and I was right not to look at it: The story is boring and totally confusing. But it was fantastic to see the fine computer animations from 2001. Thinking of it: How would a „FF 2006“ look like? It seems that all the animators agreed not to animate people again in the future. Are there any examples out there how animated people look like with todays softwares?
