Reverse Animation to Live-Action

I thought this was funny to see that someone decided to make a live-action version of an originally animated piece, considering that now many technically advanced films are utilizing live-action motion capture tools to create highly realistic animation. I recall seeing this short chess animation "Geri's Game" before seeing the first Toy Story movie in theaters, and just thought this was a funny little real-life remake of it, and shows that it's a good script as well.
