Lines blur between animated, live action movies

"The walls between live-action and animation are becoming really porous, and it's interesting. I think in the decades ahead you're really going to see those walls coming down," Lee Unkrich, director of "Toy Story 3," said at a symposium of Oscar animation nominees on Thursday night.
