The film employs a novel technique of hand-drawn 2D traditional animation set atop 3D computer animation. This effect is occasionally used in video games (Xenogears used 2D sprites on top of 3D backgrounds), but is quite rare in film. A similar dichotomy was used for the character of the cyborg John Silver: his natural body is hand-animated, but his mechanical arm and eye are computer animated.
