Bio-Sensor used motion capture of profile and head-on films of a tiger walking (a la Muybridge technique).
The film was made by a Japanese director, so it makes this film the first Japanese revolutionary CGI animation.
There's a French parody called Sio-Benbor (1988), being notable for having a "really cute kitty" cat.
