Most of this is CG, with sketched textures on the models, as well as a sketch post-process filter in some cases. Definitely not drawn by hand, just in case the contributor was under that impression.

Oddly enough, they co-opted some existing animation too, as I noticed a few frames from existing animations (1:47 - studio ghibli's Ponyo). I guess musical artists have finally broken through to the visual side of "sampling"?

Did anyone else think of Ponyo after viewing this video?

Somehow, I think that's a movie Japanese families will be avoiding after this. *shudder*

Phil Hartman as Jiji? W T F.

I'm still excited to see Ponyo when it gets here in two weeks on Region 2 dvd!
