With its jawdroppingly beautiful cartoon animation, it feels like you are playing an anime movie.

The game pioneered the use of in-game graphics drawn to resemble classic hand-drawn cartoon animation.

In traditional cartoon animation, the individual frames of a movie were initially drawn on thin onionskin paper over a light source.

Applications include automatic lip-synch timing for cartoon animation, follow-the-bouncing-ball video sub-titling, and linguistic research.

Cartoon animation was an important feature; the animated characters in the films interact directly with the live-action characters, which was an innovation at the time.
