Linux behind movie 'Madagascar'

Technology behind the very realistic movie 'Madagascar'

* The movie has taken about four years to complete!!
* Every hair on every animal represents a line of computer code
* "Madagascar" landscape has 150,000 objects moving at once
* Revolutionary approach instead of "stretch and squash" technique
* Run on a complex system of Hewlett-Packard hardware running Linux as well as its own proprietary operating system known as e-motion.
* Team of 45

Fyi, Linux was also behind 'Sinbad'
