I seen a the preview of this on the Shrek dvd, and it looked amazing. It starts with an eagle flying, then the camera swooping down into a deep chasm, and goes over the river and you see fish jumping getting catched by bears. The camera continues onto a plain and a pack of horses runs by and it follows the main horse. Beautiful. I'll probably see this on dvd, like I did the Prince of Egypt, one of Dreamworks other animated movie. Say what you will about American animated features, anime feature films just don't stack up when it comes to budget. Of course, in the end, all that matters is a movies soul (for lack of better words), budget notwithstanding. Still, watch the beginning of Prince of Egypt, the shot of the clouds parting is something you can't get with a Miyazaki film, simply because the CG budget isn't all there for anime films. Sure, most Disney movies today (outside of Pixar) are vomit enducing, but Dreamworks hasn't let me down yet. I'm sure this is a watchable movie, especially with the horse only having a voice-over sometimes.
