The Waltz of Bashir directed by Ari Folman focuses on the story of Folman, a soldier that was in the Israeli Defence Force's in Lebanon. It is a documentary film where Foleman visits old war veterans to try and find out the reasoning for his hallucinations and missing memories that he is trying to recollect. The style of the animation is like a Graphic Novel to have the atmosphere and nostalgic feel it requires, its also quite real and emotional without being real. Folman did not want to use rotoscoping as he thinks it distracts from any emotions that the characters could provide and so they stuck with After Effects without rotoscoping.
The veteran says Folman can draw but not film and then they talk about the past.
The Last scene is contrasting the animation by uncovering the real life footage which shows the massacre of the Sabra and Shatila Refugee Camp showing that the animation isn't much unreal from the reality the animation makes it seem almost unbelievable then its in front of you. Because of the impact this showed of the war and it was considered negative it was banned in Lebanon specifically but it still did well getting awards like Best Language Foreign Film.
The Drawings were done by people like David Polonsky who was the illustrator and Art Director using 3,500 key frames. The Small group of animators only had 1.7mil as a budget compared to big studios.
