The movie's actual title is Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus - The Movie. It is based on (or rather taken from) the popular computer and videogame Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (available for PC and PlayStation). Oddworld Inhabitants, the creators of both the game and this short animated movie, have handed this movie to the Academy which should, judging by the quality of the movie, add it to the 1999 Oscar-nominees of Best Short Animated films. The entire film is rendered by state-of-the-art computer graphics and has a highly original story-line and overall design. At this point, no release in theaters or on video is planned. Let's hope that this will change -- maybe after it will get the Oscar?!
