How do they animate South Park?




I know that they use Autodesk Maya, a 3D program, but exactly how do they do it?

    That would probably require a pretty extensive tutorial on animation, MEL and shaders.

    Originally it was done with paper cut-outs that were scanned in and then animated. The goal was to keep it crappy looking, and to make it quick to produce.

    Original tools were Alias/Wavefront’s Power Animator, but they moved to Maya. I believe this happened some time after the Southpark movie.

    Source links below give some technical details.
