I don't think it was to the point (yet) of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, where the only sets were things they physically interacted with; the 'bloopers' part shows them on the 'jungle set, and it's just a blue screen with a few scattered palm fronds in a rought line along their marked path. Maybe you can tell when it's CGI but most people probably can't. I'm reminded of Spielburg talking about Jaws, and how people were pointing to real sharks and saying how fake the mechanical shark was.Within the next few years, the difference between live-action film and animated film will probably disappear. I'd say within 20 years, 90% of SAG - the people that have all the other roles in a film other than the few dozen big stars at the time - might well be out of work once a sufficient template library exists.</blockquote>
