"Done" as in '3D rendered', yes.  Not sure if any Gimp'ing or Cinepaint'ing
was done after the fact, though.

Other movies, like the new Star Wars prequels, the latest Star Trek movie,
The Incredible Hulk, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and numerous others,
were all 'done' in Linux, to some degree.  (Probably rendering on massive
clusters.  WETA is apparently interesting in letting people use their

rendering cluster for LotR for supercomputing use, now. :^) )

This is getting off-topic, though, since we're talking Gimp in classroom,
not clusters doing multi-million-dollar movies. :)
