[edit] Japanese Multiplane Camera

I just finished a research paper on the premiere of 'Snow White' and the invention of the Multiplanar Camera, and I had assumed that it was purely an American idea. But check out this video on YouTube.

Amazing, isn't it? A Japanese cartoon with a 3D background! That was 1933, the same time that Ub Iwerks was apparently using his nifty camera. Does anyone know any background about this? It would be neat to add an international element to the article, even just to show that not all cartoons of the time were Fleischer, Disney, or Schlesinger. I feel the information might be imbedded in Japanese language websites, which I can't venture into.

Response? It would be sad if this were overlooked, especially with such knowledgeable people out there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.22.100.185 (talk) 23:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC).
