I happened to check this out last week when it was released and soon 
ordered the DVD. It was absolutely gorgeous, and it definitely 
demonstrated the capabilities of Blender, the other Free software 
involved, as well as the talents of the artists working on it. The 
"story," if there was one, seemed lacking and somewhat unmotivated, but 
it wasn't as much about story-telling as it was a technological 
demonstration.

However, I am still unable to parse the name, and it irks me. I've asked 
elsewhere too, but does anyone know whether it's supposed to be read 
something like "The elephant's dream was vividly described," and the 
title is a typo, or is it supposed to be read something like "We know 
elephants dream," which sounds even less related to the piece, but not a 
typo.

Arggh.
