I seriously doubt gbg is looking to downgrade or seek out a technicality but is merely raising a conversation about hybrid films and the shifting lines of "animation".
Roger Rabbit was also on my consideration as well. So was Scanner Darkly which simply colored over live-action into an animated form.
The same query could go to other films that rely on rotoscoping as well as, back in the day when Computer Graphics or 3D art began to insert itself into what was hand-painted animation.
Back in the late nineties, I co-ran an art forum where both 2D and 3D art was showcased. There was plenty of great discussions on whether people who used computer apps such as Poser, Bryce and the like to create people, clothing, backgrounds and the like could still be considered artists as one would consider anyone who painted, drew, sculpted and so forth.
So, as a discussion, I hesitated on hybrid or a rotoscoped film out of personal preference, though I would imagine should a discussion had been raised in the beginning, there most likely would have been an "open door" or at least a selected gap in said door for making choices.
