Disney has come under fire after a video resurfaced showing horribly CGI-generated background actors in the movie "Prom Pact."

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

    [off topic] This is why I love the old movies. When you see something happen on screen you know that it’s an actual person doing the stunt.

    James Bond’s ‘Thunderball’ has has a team of Navy SEALs parachuting into the middle of the ocean and then scuba diving to battle SPECTRE agents armed with sea sleds. ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ has an army on camels attackign a city. ‘Waterloo’ recreated the battle with 16,000 Red Army troops trained to fight a Napoleonic battle.

          I was referring to where you said that that was why you liked old movies, not about that specific movie, tons of old movies, even major ones, used cardboard cutouts to pad the numbers for cheaper than paying extras
