2d mixed with 3d

"Usavich is a bizarre series of animated shorts created for MTV Japan featuring some rabbits trapped in a Russian prison. In addition to its pute wckiness, I absolutely love the fusion of 3D animation and traditional 2D illustration. You can catch all the episodes and a small word game at usavich.tv"
