NEW YORK, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Animals that are real and computer-generated get top billing in three major movies coming out in the United States in the run-up to Christmas.
"Charlotte's Web," "Night in the Museum" and "Eragon" required exhaustive work by trainers and animators and in some cases multiple critters sharing a single role, the New York Post noted Saturday.
The makers of "Charlotte's Web" used 47 real pigs to as well as state-of-the-art animation to nail down Wilbur, the talking hog of the venerable children's story.
"Eragon" stars the dragon Saphira, which was of course the creation of Industrial Light and Magic.
Dexter, the monkey who sticks it repeatedly to "Night in the Museum" star Ben Stiller, is the real deal, however. Trainers spent weeks teaching Crystal, a 13-year-old capuchin, how to bite, slap and generally make Stiller look silly in the story of a rookie night watchman at a magical museum.
