- Waste? WASTE?! Who's ever heard of Hollywood wasting anything?
-
- But seriously: You don't waste energy by using a computer for animation.
- In fact you can do lot's of things much more efficient. In cheap TV-pro-
- ductions you usually use them to construct every second picture or so.
- In Beauty and the Beast they used it to make the background move. And
- you talk about disney cartoons like they were something for kids. Well,
- you may stick to the "mature" stuff, like Starfighter and Terminator 2.
