I don’t think it’s been done, and welcome to the Dope. 🙂 Haven’t seen the movie, but for whatever it’s worth, Roger Ebert and his new partner reviewed it on their TV show a week or two ago, and they both loved it. This is the movie where there’s some kind of drawing over the live actors, so it looks animated? (I have no idea what the process is called, but the clips they showed were very interesting.) ---

Mrs. D18 and I saw it last Saturday. It’s amazing. The animation-over-live-action-shots technique has an original visual texture. It’s one of those movies that stays with you for quite a while. I’m still thinking about it.
