What's left behind the scenes

This is the first animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
In one episode, at the 28th minute of the film, you can spot a GAZ-3102 ('Volga' car), which began mass production at the Gorky Automobile Plant in 1982, the same year the Lebanese War took place.
Despite a common misconception, rotoscoping (an animation technique where animators trace over live-action footage, frame by frame) was not used in the making of the film.
The artist of the painting, David Polonsky, is right-handed, but he made most of the drawings for the film with his left hand so they wouldn't look "too beautiful".
Work on the film took 4 years.
Together with a group of like-minded individuals, Ari Folman began collecting stories about the first three months of the 1982 Lebanon War. Based on the collected material, a 90-minute video film was made, which was then reworked into the animated film 'Waltz with Bashir,' which tells about the psychological trauma that the Lebanon War became for many Israeli soldiers. Folman personally raised money for production. When donations were insufficient, he took out a loan of one million shekels.
