@eyeris: in Monsters Inc., every scene only one or two hairy things, “Madagascar” has more animals need to draw in one scene. Definately, more hair.

@dannyFoo: now we see the advantage of 64bit computing – in animation producing.

@shuyii: create a monk(botak!) will save more time

someone did jokingly tell me that they created a BOY as the main character in ~~Polar Express~~ ( the 3D animated film) so that they would save cost and tiMe rendering ……… haiR! (boy’s hair generally shorter than gurl’s and minimal movement i suppose)

Yummy, the flavors of 64-bit processing to crush those algorithms.

I remember Pixar had already tackled that ‘hair’ problem with Monsters Inc. The blue furry monster had very nice furry er… fur indeed. I guess Madagascar has more er… hair.
