In the heyday of hand drawn animation, when elephants soared and crickets did the soft shoe, they did so frame by painstakingly-rendered frame. But time and technology have created new characters, even colors. They've also found the keys to a new Magic Kingdom: the third dimension. Betty Boop wouldn't believe her eyes. Now, some worry that by finding Nemo, we're losing a cherished art form.
