Their demise isn't animated
On Video On Demand, I saw The Meaning of Life (just to see ) and the end of the accountants/pirates didn't look animated; it looked more like it was a miniature of the building being pushed off a fake cliff. It looks nothing like Gilliam's cut-out animations nor does it resemble stop-motion animation. It looked like it was filmed in live-action. Yet the article says that they meet their (now animated) end by falling off the edge of the world. --68.37.116.234 16:00, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

At this stage of Cinema History (i.e. 1981), it was probably not animated as sticking in an animated feature that looked like a real building would cost too much money. (The animations done by Terry Gilliam were cheaply done, and largely cut from paintings and looked like they were paintings.) However the building looked real and was likely a model. (Model shots can actually get people in a lot of problems when they look real. When they did the 3rd Doctor Serial - Doctor Who and the Daemons, the production crew were slated by many Christian Groups etc who decried the destruction of a Church, when it was of course a model.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.38.3 (talk) 11:49, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
