Well, I did say "his cutting-edge version of the animation method rotoscope" referring to Bakshi's as opposed to Melies or anyone else. The rotoscope issue was a big deal for Bakshi at the time and remains a point of contention. I remember when it came out, Bakshi was pushing the rotoscope angle heavily. He had made some advances in the method, or so he claimed, but he backtracked later saying it was all a short cut because of budget cuts. He's still very bitter about that film and apparently refuses to see Jackson's version.
