You Think Your Film was a Challenge?

Three Things I Didn't Know:
1. Aleksandr Petrov’s 1999 adaptation of Hemmingway’s The Old Man and the Sea was the first animated film released into IMAX theaters.
2. The film is essentially stop-motion with paintings.
3. The film took over 2.5 years to fully animate.

Two Opinions:
1. I looked this up on YouTube and watched some of it. Holy. Crap. I can't even imagine animating this. It's paintings, but...a lot of them. A LOT of them.
2. I'm glad this won an Oscar.

One Question:
1. Why would you ever choose to do it this way?
