  • Industrial Light & Magic

Description:


    “Flubber” was an entirely new kind of challenge for ILM. The oozing, gelantinous quality of the title character dictated that he be animated using Metaclay. To our knowledge, this is the first time Metaclay has been used to achieve major-character acting in a feature film.
