This is rare, a male figure -- is that a first?
There is much to like about this composition. What first catches my eye is the battle-ax extending into the foreground. And the ax blade itself, with the ornamental scrollwork on the blade. Everything in the background is to my taste. The figures -- well, that's obvious.

True, I don't do too many males. But not the first time either. 
PS - I watched that animation, Sintel - it was really good!

Wow, really glad you liked it
To me, it's very encouraging that such a project could be done at all with Blender. On the other hand, it's discouraging how many people it took and how long it took them. It's only 12 minutes long, after all. I want to do some animation like that by myself, but I'll have to offload a lot of work onto the computer that they did by hand.

I think it would be a ton of work. And tons of talent too. They did a great job on it. Maybe start with a really short animation - not so overwhelming that way.

Right, I will start small and short, and with few or no human figures.
I want to automate things to a fare-thee-well, hopefully without making it look wooden. I should be able to prescribe the action with something on the order of "Bozo enter stage left" and the right things happen because Bozo already knows how to walk in Bozo's inimitable manner, how to open a door etc. I want to follow Disney's example in Fantasia, providing action to interpret music somebody wrote.
I have one idea for improving on human animation I see, and that is to incorporate an understanding of physics into the software. There's a site called Sodaplay or something like that, where people construct objects as networks of nodes with weight and stiffness, etc, and it's astonishing how convincing their movements are. Oh, and another is to have avatars evolve their own ways of moving, optimizing energy consumption or something...

Maybe, but hard not to look. I think it would be hard to fight them up close...so distracting.

Well, just give them a hug and a couple of bacon cheeseburgers, they'll think you're their friend.
