    "Tears of Steel" was the fourth Blender Open Movie project. The first one was 2006's "Elephants Dream", then "Big Buck Bunny" and "Sintel".

    From the more recent ones I highly recommend "Sprite Fright".

    I also don't think you should strongly consider watching any of them (and this is coming from a Blender fan), but they're all short films so if you have a few minutes to kill you may as well try watching one.

    I personally thought Sprite Fright was a fun watch (10m): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cMxraX_5RE

    Background: to help drive Blender development in the direction of real artist needs, Blender Studio creates short films dogfooding their software

    Their latest is Sprite Fright: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cMxraX_5RE
