I love the character animation in this scene of the chipmunk in enchanted. As he can't talk anymore but is used to talking he has to basically play charades to be understood but he still acts so human. I love how he can change his body depending on what he's trying to be. The 3D chipmunk was made in Maya and Furrocious. The visual effects supervisor was Thomas Shelesney. They decided to enhance the facials expressions on Pip by adding eyebrows. I was quite intrigued about how they managed to merge animation and live action so seamlessly so I looked further into it. They were able to make the character look where the animated character would be by using a laser pointer so everyone knew where to look but cleverly isn't seen on camera.

This was a very interesting read all about how they tackled parts of the animation process and more on how they made the audience know where to look as it was more difficult the more people there were and the bigger the space.

James Baxter (a British character animator) was director of animation in this film. 

While he was studying at West Surrey College of Art and Design, at the age of 20 he heard about a collaboration between Disney and Richard Williams (who inspired him a lot) He got the opportunity to work on it and very quickly impressed the crew with his abilities at such a young age. By 23 he was animation supervisor for Belle in Beauty and the Beast! Unfortunately this came as quite a shock to the system making him quit for over a year. Disney managed to convince him to come back to work on The lion King. He then moved to dreamworks animation where he worked on the road to eldorado, Shrek 2, Madagascar and others. After this he set up his own studio in California caller Baxter Animation which is where he was employed to do the animation for Enchanted in 2007. Shortly after this he closed his studio and is now back with Dreamworks. 

I have tried to locate him on all kinds of social media and found nothing! All i can find are deactivated accounts from his old compony. This is really annoying but ill keep trying. The latest thing I can find that he has worked on it the Croods in 2013.

I did however find an interview from him on the croods and at the end he gave a little advice that is pretty good: 

There is also a scene that I can't find on youtube where the step mother is in a pan of boiling water in the kitchen and there are apples floating in it. This is a 2D person in a 3D world. Then she interacts with it and brings the 3D apples into her own world. Like her hand turns 3D to grab the apple then they both go 2D when they are in her world and back to 3D again! and its flawless! It is so impressive.
