This doesn't use Canvas, only CSS. And there is only 1 line of JavaScript code, to delay the playing of the music.
You are right. This is done with webkit-specific animations, transitions, and 3D transforms, which Apple has proposed as modules for CSS3. As all of these modules have yet to reach the status of recommendations, I think that the title of this post is a bit deceiving. For now I have to call this a proprietary webkit demo.
Not a big deal, but it also fails on IE 7.
Crashing FF seems fairly unacceptable, you'd think it would just render it incorrectly.
All messed up in Chrome, but it runs: Star Wars logo doesn't shrink to the distance, but just stays on screen and then disappears. Episode text is all scrunched up.
Safari 4.0.4, on 10.6, worked just fine.
Obviously we are going to need an Acid test for Canvas.
