Next year the film version of Where the Wild Things Are will be released. It will incorporate live action, puppetry and 3d computer animation to make, what looks like, a very stunning picture. While clicking around I found that John Lasseter (director and producer for many of the Pixar Films) while working for Disney in 1983 did a test combining traditional hand drawn animated characters over a 3d background.
To see a test clip for the 2009 film go to: http://www.thebadandugly.com/2008/02/18/wild-things-clip
(I'm not able to embed it)
It's interesting how the two use 3d animation in completely different ways, one more subtly than the other. The one that is more subtle also is the most recent making it more high tech and realistic.
