I'll do anything for an alliteration... 

Yes, pixillation is the stop-motion effect that Norman McLaren made famous.
I was thinking of "pixel-ation" -- not "pixellation" which is the mess that
a digital TV image becomes when the encoder can't keep up. However,
"pixel-ation" doesn't exist and I should say "mosaicization" or something,
I suppose...

Anyway, how did the censors treat Schindler's List?
