You're just saying this to distract us from the truth that you're
actually telling the truth, aren't you? I see how it is....

Time for the truth to come out.
When LEGO hit the theatres and made more in a single opening than it
cost to produce the entire movie and its marketing clips, everybody
wondered how it was possible that it had been made for less than 60
million.
People quickly found out it was entirely produced in Softimage, and
immediately Pixar, Disney, DWA, BlueSky and Sony called Autodesk and
threatened to sue them for the added expenses their other software
costed, and pushed for them to shut down Softimage so they could
cripple Animal Logic, a company well known to use no other software!
AD had to scamper towards emergency measures, called Glassworks, The
Mill, Blur and Passion Pictures to ask if they found Softimage to be
an unfair advantage, when they confirmed it was, it became clear that
the only sane move was to completely kill the product within the month.
Yes, that's how it went. I'm sorry, it's all our fault.
P.S.
In case it's not clear, none of the above is true, and the usage of
software on LEGO was almost evenly split betwen Propietary, Soft,
Houdini, Maya, Nuke, LDD, Mari and so on. In fact it's probably rare
to find a movie with such a flat license pull graph on the servers.
