Those two background painters interviewed around the 5:30 mark? None other tan James Gurney of Dinotopia fame and Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light. Amazing!

I love rotoscoping animation, I think its more captivation than CGI, specially when you have a voluptuous half naked character on screen.

I really like the rotoscoping but I also find it hard to watch, it had the most uncanny valley rotoscoping effects I've ever seen. I don't know exactly what it is that makes it most unusual but it seems to be the way the characters' movements are so translated without much dimension in colors or line.

Check out "Snow White" (1937) and "Pinocchio" (1940)...lots of rotoscoping.

So, dinosaurs didn't go exintct, they just discuised themselves as trucks!

[HCShannon]

Is it just me of does old-school rotoscoping look really creepy!

I'm still in love with this movie after many years when I first saw it on VHS. The amount of work goes into a few seconds of the movie is totally breathtaking. This is truely an art form deserves much recognition.
