Weird Russian cartoon. - DTG, Absorbtion, AR and TF.

I'm not sure how this managed to remain on youtube, but it's a strange one with a little bit of everything. It looks like it was animated by the dude who did the LOTR cartoon.

I think they're using the technique called rotoscoping, basically tracing live-action stills to duplicate natural movement. It was in Ralph Bakshi cartoons like the LOTR and "Fire and Ice", also used in the original He-Man cartoon and some others.

Nice find.
