Err, really? I know this is in gaming, but can you source that statement? Since Ghibli created the On Your Mark music video nearly two full years (7/15/1995 vs 7/12/1997) before Mononoke, and it was their first testbed for utilizing CG, I don't see how CG would have been a last resort on Mononoke. My impression was that they used CG in OYM to prepare for using it on Mononoke.
