What are the best rotoscope movies?&nbsp;Rotoscoping&nbsp;is an&nbsp;animation&nbsp;technique that&nbsp;animators&nbsp;use to trace over motion picture footage,&nbsp;frame&nbsp;by frame, to produce realistic action. Originally, animators projected photographed live-action movie images onto a&nbsp;glass&nbsp;panel and traced over the image. This projection equipment is referred to as a&nbsp;rotoscope, developed by Polish-American animator&nbsp;Max Fleischer, and the result is a&nbsp;rotograph. This device was eventually replaced by computers, but the process is still called rotoscoping. So what are the best rotoscope <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-50-greatest-animated-films-of-all-time" target="_blank">animation movies</a>? What rotoscope movies do you love?

When it comes to rotoscoping movies, American film director&nbsp;Richard Linklater has mastered the form. The Keanu Reeves rotoscope movie&nbsp;A Scanner Darkly&nbsp;is considered one of the best examples of utilizing the rotoscope style in a narrative format in modern day. Linklater also made two more rotoscope movies&nbsp;Waking Life&nbsp;and&nbsp;Apollo 10.5 -&nbsp;which is one of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-animated-movies-2022/jason-bancroft" target="_blank">the best animated movies of 2022</a>. In recent years, many&nbsp;great rotoscope movies have come out, like&nbsp;I Lost My Body,&nbsp;The Spine of Night,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Loving Vincent.

Many of the early Disney classics were created using rotoscoped animation, such as&nbsp;Cinderella, Snow White, Pinocchio, and&nbsp;Sleeping Beauty, among others. However, controversially in the late &#39;10s and early &#39;20s, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-mouse-manufacturers/computer-hardware?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Mouse company</a> introduced the practice of&nbsp;digitally remastering&nbsp;(read: ruining) the original films by erasing many of the details of the early animation techniques.
