Probably the best cinematic from Blizzard so far. The matte painting video is awesome!

Nice indeed.

Sweet, cheers for the link, Lee. This WoW Lich King cinematic definitely stands out in my mind as one of the best game cinematics I've ever seen. It's funny that with all the epic action happening in the movie, the part that impressed me the most was the part where the King wipes the snow away from the ice with his hand.

It's also funny now to look back at some of Blizzards earlier cinematics from Warcraft II.
