- I'd keep that in mind if I believed it. If they're to completely
- abandon the drawing board, it'll quite some time from now. They use
- computers to do final clean-up and painting for every "cel" setup
- nowadays, but the characters are still hand-animated. Computer
- animation is simply too limited in some respects (like complex
- character personality) at the current state of the art. Disney
- could pioneer it, I suppose, but I think some other companies have
- beaten them to it. :-) Disney is going to distribute Pixar's attempt
- at feature-length computer animation. FYI, to my knowledge, Pixar
- has not yet begun animating the project at this time; and they
- really *hate* rumors.
