...Hamlet” last night in the Lowell House Junior Common Room. With no auditions or rehearsals, the students brandished impromptu props like a plastic skull, originally a Halloween decoration, that stood in for “Poor Yorick” and a blown-up rubber glove with a hand-drawn face that impersonated the ghost of Hamlet’s father. Actors drew parts randomly from a bowl, before each scene, to give them the opportunity to play more than one role. In a room laced with glowing Christmas decorations, the actors took the stage in front...

And if for no other reason, keep in mind that as hand-drawn animation quickly disappearing from screens, Wallace and Gromit may be the final vestiges of a manifestly man-made medium all too quickly succumbing to machinery...
...debate at the studio went beyond the commercial or even artistic implications of CG. Hand-drawn animation was the Disney religion. Stainton, while overseeing a reduction of the animation staff from 2,200 to 725, worked hard to win over the old boys. He argued that CG actually frees artists "to produce movies of extraordinarily different styles. There are limitations in hand drawn. In CG you can do things that are much more complicated." But some still thought the very notion of a change sacrilegious. To abandon the grand old style for 3-D would be like tearing down Chartres...
