Where are the shadow's options?

I think you hover over the crafting table then click on the wrench.  After that click on Render Settings, then you'll see options to change the shadows.

 

But there is one problem.  I think if you use these kind of shadows, there is a radius of where the shadows will appear.  If objects are outside of that radius, the object will not cast shadows.

Yes, that's true, although the chances of a person creating an animation outside the radius is slim... But people can just change the settings a bit and it should work.

Have the shadow settings to High, change all the other settings to lowest, don't mess with the DOF, change the sunlight range to 400 depending on the size of the scenery (: and give the sunlight ambiance to a grayish blue (:

Okay, do you use this technique a lot? I want to make this as elaborate as I can, so I may have multiple techniques in the thread...

Yes, I always use this technique since after my Christmas animation (:  

 

(Its still jagged, but hey.. Its something!) 

 

The shadows give it a more cel shaded type of shadow
