This is the second open movie project released by the Blender Foundation. The first Elephants Dream was also a 3D animated short film. However Big Buck Bunny may appeal to a wider audience than ED as it looks more like a Pixar movie. What's so great about this movie? It was produced entirely on open source software. Blender, the 3D animating software used, now has features in it that large Hollywood studios pay thousands of dollars for. Not bad for community produced software! You can get (download or buy) the movie here.
