Discovered by Len at Blenderartists. See post here. It seems some new things have been periodically posted in the Peach Media Gallery.
Update??: I don't recall seeing these. Little .ogg videos of some animation tests. Its possible these aren't new, but even if there aren't, someone could have missed them.
Please keep in mind Sago has clarified that this test is an early try and doesn't represent the current state.
Visit the Peach Media Gallery here. The video of the river looks pretty good, and if this is an early test I can't wait to see the final result.

That's... a... LOT of strands... Looking good!
Wow!!.. Just WOW!!
I can't wait to get my DVD..
The grass looks awesome, but the river is a bit blurry, in the movie it seems like cloth moving from one end towards the other, instead of fluid... Maybe they are using some texturing fakes to reduce the rendering times?
wow... i can see why they needed approximated ambient occlusion
Forget about this. This is concept only. Final render will beat Pixar.
eeww this looks horrible!
You guys can complain about this, but they have already said that this was just an early test. I am unconcerned, the final should look great.
In other news this morning, there's a new blog post with a few revealing tid-bits. I didn't know there were any other characters other than the ones shown, and honestly, the bird is already my favorite design:

Keep up the great work guys, I can't wait for the final. Also, if it's possible, I would rather see a delay than a rushed product.
am I the only one who is concerned about the dull look of the eyes?
ToastBusters,
the one complaining 'eeww this looks horrible' is the artist who did it :)

Im at work right now so I cant see the vids. But I cant wait to get home and see them. They sound awesome. And the pic on this article looks awesome!
Can anyone from the Peach team reveal what the lighting setup is for this river scene?
