It would seem the character animation is easier, allowing you to do things 
like "move this guy's feet backwards-walk-cycle, but keep his hand attached 
to the doorknob as the door opens."  You can make muscles bulge as he bends 
his arm. You can make skin, or scales, or one other type of 
bits-of-texture-moving that I don't remember, as the skeleton moves. You can 
do stereo and cell-shaded output. The lip sync is almost trivial once you 
get the lip shapes set up, which I *think* is easier than in blender if I 
remember. (I haven't tried to do that in blender, so I'm not sure.) You can 
take motions (walk cycles, etc) from one character and apply them to 
another. The hair is much better and actually works. The physics for cloth 
seemed easier but I didn't really persue it in blender much - maybe it's 
comparable. I don't remember about rigid or fluid bodies.

All stuff that would be hard to show in a still gallery. It's *animation* 
master, after all. :-)
