Name of Model: The Pirates and the NXTfied Theater

Created by: Vassilis Chryssanthakopoulos (NeXTSTORM)

Details: Generally, when you see minifigs in an animated context, stop motion animation is used. This time, an NXT was used instead, controlling both NXT motors and Power Functions motors. There are more details (along with the actual video) on the website listed above - don't miss the photos, they're the only hints as to how this was done.
