Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):The new Street Fighter movie uses hand-drawn anime for its flashbacks instead of de-aging the actors or casting younger versions. “Usually, in a traditional movie, to illustrate the backstory, you’ll have to de-age actors or cast child actors, and none of that felt right.” So the team decided to embrace Street Fighter’s anime history, taking inspiration from the classic 1994 animated movie and ’90s anime like Akira and Dragon Ball Z. Sakurai wanted the scenes to have an authentic hand-drawn ’90s look, with Titmouse handling the animation.
