Modern puppetry cannot do away with CGI. The sets and the movement is too complex, the effects are too complex, too.
In the very first seconds of the report you see a complex animatronic cat moving across a blue ackground that will be used to cut away scaffolding, stitch together different parts of the movie etc.
What they mean to say, I believe is "we want to do as much in camera as possible, and use CGI as the last resort". That's why they specifically mention that snowflakes are hand-animated in-camera.

- steve1977 4y agoI wouldn’t necessarily call digital compositing, retouching or VFX in general CGI. The result is of course a computer generated image strictly speaking, but the term is usually used for images that are completely computer generated, i.e. have no optical source in the physical worls.
