 Blending computer animation with the more traditional hand-drawn variety is not an easy task. Whether through a computer or by hand, it still takes a good animator to pull it off seamlessly. Don Bluth, co-director of the upcoming animated Scifi epic Titan A.E., comments, "The biggest challenge has been trying to blend the CGI animation with 2-D animation, because about 60 percent of the picture is CGI." He then added, "Oftentimes, when you put those two animals together, they don't marry very well because they look so different." When Titan A.E. began production, it was intended to be 100 percent computer-animated. More traditional animation was added when Bluth and his Anastasia co-director Gary Goldman took over, according to Cinescape. The epic will be about the Earthlings who survive the destruction of the planet. And there will be no "cutesy" animation either (Hurray!). "We stayed away from the word 'cute.' There's nothing cute in this movie," said Bluth. "That would be like going near the plague." Titan A.E. features the voices of Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore and Bill Pullman, and will premiere June 16.
