A few years ago a Scot started a project to make an animated short using his home computer: Brian Taylor created Rust Boy. The news is now after years of development it sounds like there is a feature film in development. No announcement about what the deal is yet, but given the success of Wallace-and-Grommit and other animated features it could be a major player.
It just goes to show, that the dedication of a few people can really make the difference. Dedication might be what you need...
