The first animated films to do this were the animated LOTR film and Fire and Ice shortly thereafter, both by the same director.
Logically, very similar during production to how Avatar was made, but doing the rendering "by hand" (and being unable to change the camera after capture).
Pretty impressive results given the budget and time requirements.
- Pxtl 5y agoActually while Bakshi was the first to make a movie that went all in on rotoscoping (particularly Fire and Ice where it was 100% rotoscoped while LOTR was a mixed bag) the first animated film to heavily leverage rotoscoping was Snow White.

- webmaven 5y ago> The first animated films to do this were the animated LOTR film and Fire and Ice shortly thereafter, both by the same director. Although rotoscoping is a venerable technique, the results we're looking at with this service don't bear much stylistic resemblance to early works like Fire and Ice or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (or more recent rotoscoped works like The Little Mermaid either). If they did, I'd have given them a pass on the 'anime' claim, even though calling the Disney house style — or Bakshi's — 'anime' is still a stretch.
