I wonder if there's *any* CGI beyond the titles and digitizing of the film
and such.

I hope not. It would kind of destroy the whole idea.

I don't see animating a CG model is any less work than animating a clay
model. Keyframes still need to be manually setup, talent required is
the same. The only difference is that there is automatic interpolation
from frame to frame and this results in far smoother end animation.
Plus, particle effects and crowd animations are far cheaper. OTOH,
lighting is not. :)
I find it weird when I see backslashes against CG in CG-geared
communities...

But why George Clooney? He's so damned boring.

For one thing, if you make a mistake, you have to start the take over again.
You can't just say "oh, I forgot he didn't blink for 2 minutes. Let's add
some blinks and re-render."
Plus, I expect it's a lot easier to rig a CGI model than a puppet. :-)

more probably some photoshopping, as render is far more expensive than
taking a shot in the puppet case... ;)

Not quite rigging, but it is known that Pixar manually models their
characters and then 3D scan them. They don't make 3D models in Maya or
something. I wonder if they do something like that in the case of
rigging...

I'd be surprised if redoing a render is more expensive than setting up a set
(altho with the "data wrangling" going on, I imagine getting things out of
order in the pipeline could be ugly), getting the puppets into place, and
re-shooting an entire scene. But yeah, manually editting a dozen frames?
Makes sense.

Cool. I'd seen them talk about how they make the models and all, but I
hadn't seen that they actually use them directly rather than reproducing
them on a computer.

With Coraline and this it actually seems to be a pretty good year for
stop-motion animation.

Incidentally, I suspect it's much easier to get complex motion to look
normal via CGI too. Something like jumping off a ledge onto a rounded rock,
or jumping in the air clicking your heels with a fist pump... Something that
would be hard to "tweak until it looks right" when you have to do the whole
scene from scratch, but easy to iterate with wireframe a dozen times an hour
until it looks natural.
