    Snopes can leave things unsecured all they want, but the footage of what happened to the cats and dogs is proof. There wasn’t any CGI in 1986 and the abusive and stressful situations they did to them was obviously real. But yes, it was Japan instead of China.

      I don’t know anything about your overall claim and don’t know what the movie is that you’re talking about but CGI absolutely did exist in 1986. The original Tron released 4 years prior, and green screens/similar had been around for decades.

        God, that jumpcut. That least they could have done was make it LOOK like the cat jumped itself.

        At least it survived the cliff dive.

        Lol. Dude. If you think green screens and CGI weren’t super easy to recognize back in the 80’s, you need to go watch some old movies that used it.

        Also, yeah, Tron released 2 years earlier and had some CGI. There was even CGI way before Tron in movies. When I say there was no CGI, I’m saying there was no CGI that could fool even a 6 year old into thinking an animal was jumping off of a cliff.

        As for the green screen thing… Bless your little soul.
