This weekend, we'll see if there are enough "Star Wars" completists to
hold up "Clone Wars". Speaking of space, "Fly Me to the Moon" has a limited
starting release this weekend. The few commercials tought that film as the
first 3-D animated feature, though it doesn't look like much of an achievement.

It says it's the first cg (or animated, I forget which they say) feature
made for 3D. Which might not be a lie, but is pretty close.
The trailer I saw for the film in the theater claimed it was the "first ever
animated movie created for 3D", which is an outright lie. You can see this
trailer on YouTube at:

Their website (http://www.flymetothemoonthemovie.com/) originally read
"nWave Pictures brings you the first 3D feature film created, animated and
edited for stereo!" They have now inserted "computer animated" after the
word first.
