Can look pretty [[Uncanny Valley\|unnatural]]. Used only for comedic purposes in anything newer than the 1960s. Just as primitive [[Rotoscoping]] has given way to [[Motion Capture]], the great-great-grandson of this technique can be found in the advanced facial performance capture techniques used in ''[[Avatar (film)\|Avatar]]'', ''[[L.A. Noire]]'' and ''[[LAAlita: ~~Noire~~Battle Angel]]''. {{examples}} == [[Film]] - Animation == * "Mr. Incredible and Pals" short from ''[[The Incredibles]]'' DVD is a parody of ''[[Clutch Cargo]]''. Line 14 ⟶ 13: == [[Film]] - Live-Action == * Young Butch is watching ''[[Clutch Cargo]]'' in the flashback scene in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''. * Used in ''[[Batman (film)\|Batman]]'' to mask the lips of the recent victims of Joker's toxin in order to "advertise" his [[Brand X]]. {{spoiler\|Which, in turn, was the Joker toxin that he was going to release at the Bicentennial celebration of Gotham City's foundation.}} == [[Music]] == Line 33 ⟶ 32: * In the 1992 ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers", {{spoiler\|clone!}}Daffy has this for a brief moment. * This technique has been used in ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'', though unlike some of the other examples here "comedic" [[Nightmare Fuel\|isn't what they were going for]]. * In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Marge" Marge is declared insane. On the "Krusty the Clown Show" Krusty does Conan O'Brien's bit, asking an image of Marge who her favorite Native American warrior is. "Crazy Horse." Krusty realizes the bit is getting old and calls for the Mad Marge dancers.<ref>cf. the "Judge Ito dancers" on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' during the OJ Simpson trial</ref>. * One episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' used this as part of Brian's [[Mushroom Samba\|mushroom-induced hallucination]].
