"It has to be funny-otherwise there's no movie-but at the same time you have to deliver something new." That effort has gone on for two years, since Guterman and visual-effects supervisor Ed Jones went to work with animal trainers, puppeteers and three special-effects houses, including Rhythm & Hues, which made a pig talk in the Babe movies through a process called face replacement.

...Babe was released in 1995. By now its effects seem as primitive as a scratchy Al Jolson sound track. "Computer horsepower has gotten better, and there are some really sharp guys writing software," says Dennis Muren, senior visual effects supervisor at ILM.

At one point Nathan says to Jessica, "I'm sorry if you get bored, it seems that all we do is sit around." "No. It's not boring. Sometimes it's good just...
...left. Such 3-D computer maps are assembled from seismic data and, along with soaring energy prices, are helping drive the global oil-and-gas-exploration business. Magic Earth's "data-mining" software provides geologists with color-coded guides to rock formations and fluid densities. Its visual clues, says CEO Michael Zeitlin, can be analyzed more quickly and accurately than reams of numbers and graphs. And its improved accuracy means drilling fewer dry holes, reducing cost and environmental impact. Claims Zeitlin: "We've improved the probability of striking oil from...
