If you're interested, you can check out this featurette that gives all the details of Paperman's creation. Yes, they used a computer program to generate the visuals, and then had artists draw over it to make it look completely hand-drawn. There are some who are criticising Disney for the move, saying that Disney should be doing it all hand-drawn. But times are changing, and I think it's important to recognize that computer graphics alone still can't achieve the warmth of hand drawn animation, at least without help.
What do you think of Paperman? Is this a step forward or a step backwards for animation?[Via YouTube]

Andrew posted it yesterday. It's cute. I like that they went with black and white rather than color.
That was cute. Magic paper airplanes bringing people together! The hand drawing does make the characters look better than those on the computer.
Visually one of the most exquisite animations in years. Helps that it's in black and white and that it's silent.
I don't really dig this. I don't know why. Rubs me the wrong way.
I can't wait to see this.
