The programme provides an interesting insight into the world of computer-generated animated film and the special effects created with 3-D computer graphics. With Pixar and Dreamworks, the CNN journalist meets the greats of animated film, who reveal secrets from their new productions “Shreck Three” and “Ratatouille”, which opens in German cinemas at the beginning of October. Myleene Klass also reports on “Persepolis”, which was highly praised at the Cannes Film Festival. This animated film is about the autobiography of a young Iranian woman who grows up as a rebel under the mullahs.

The presenter also accompanies the work on an animated documentary film for Harvey Goldsmith, the co-organizer of the Live 8 concert, and at the end of her programme even takes on a guest role in the film “Igor.”
