There have been a few programs on the making of WFRR on television
recently and as far as I remember, there was NO CAA used at all on the
original drawings/acetates. However these were then shipped to a seperate
company which added highlights/shadowing etc. So there was probably some
computer time involved there.
( I believe this was the same company which was responsible for the FX
on all the Star Trek movies plus some Star Wars as well )
