    I'm not an expert, but I'd say the scene where T-Bone and Razor go
hurtling into the vortex back to prehistoric times *has* to be CG. I have no
idea how it could be anything but. True, I don't immediately recall any type
of CG mentioned in the credits (I'll check again.) but still, it looks mighty
CG to me.

    Now the scenes with *exterior* of the vortex, if that's what you're
talking about, those are hand drawn, that's clear.
