The Groundbreaking Visual Effects of The Mask

The 1994 film The Mask starring Jim Carrey was a comedy fantasy that people loved for its silliness, but that overshadowed the technical skill required to make it as silly as it was. Watching it today the movie's visual effects are taken for granted. At the time, they were fairly experimental, and it took a lot of work to pull them off.  When this kind of work is done well, you are less likely to notice it, so it's a mixed blessing for the animators and computer pros who put in so much work to make The Mask work.
