Not only Dreamworks but WETA used Linux/KDE while doing The Lord of The Rings trilogy. I used to have a screenshot laying around somewhere but can't find it now.

In the 60's people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

I suspect that some of the studio machines will be on SGI boxes running Irix.
Actually SGI changed,"
SGI, reeling under the one-two punch of cheap Intel chips and cheap PC graphics cards, changed direction in 1998 to support PCs. And because Irix, SGI's version of the Unix OS, wouldn't run on PCs, SGI began offering Windows NT-based workstations in 1999. Within months, SGI would change direction again-this time to embrace Linux, a Unix-based OS that runs on PCs."
Nemo was also made using Linux, so were the Star Wars films, the First three, Most of the big hoses are now using Linux.
I know hat for the Star Wars films they used Cinelarra (Film Gimp) with custom tools and using a render farm of AMD`s in a beowulf cluster.... yes I havr the DVD SE....

Are you sure about this?
When I watched the documentaries of all three movies spec. ed's, all the WETA people were using Apples. Along with the PIXAR people form finding NEMO
If your right, that means that ILM, WETA, PIXAR, and DreamWorks all use Linux. Is there a major Effects Company left.
Oh yah, Disney. But they haven't really gotten into 3-d animatiuon yet. they just give it all to PIXAR to do. They just anounced that they aren't doing any more 2-d animation.
And of course with PIXAR leaving Disney...
