The film received mixed reviews and was a box office bomb, with losses of about $130 million (ouch!!)
It did pave the way for photorealistic CGI humans - "Final Flight of the Osiris" increased the level of realism shown.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) by Palisades
"Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" is a science fiction film by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the Final Fantasy series of RPGs. It was the first animated feature to seriously attempt photorealistic CGI humans. The story follows scientists Aki Ross and Doctor Sid in their efforts to free Earth from a mysterious but deadly alien race known as the Phantoms, which has driven surviving humanity into "barrier cities." They are aided by Captain Gray Edwards and must compete against General Hein, who wishes to attack the aliens with the Zeus space cannon to end the conflict.

Hello there Alex, Armand here. I'm an avid toy collector and I must say you have an impressive collection. I've just started collecting 12'figures, ever since Hasbro took over the Marvel Legends franchise. I figured what better time to start collecting 12'. Anyway, I was wondering if it was ok with you that I link your blog to mine?
