What technologies were used on the 1967 production? They used a multiplane camera which created an illusion of depth which helped make animated films look more interesting and realistic.They won an engineering academy award. It had a sense of 3D depth in a cartoon setting.     3. What technologies were used on the 2016 production? They merged animal voice and human voice to make it sound real. They had virtual cameras and photograohed the creatures against a real background. Animals and backgrounds were craeted on co...
