another 'is this anime' question: mini moni movie

sorry for bringing this up again, but this deals with another video I'm working on with source footage that I don't know if I can use on here. part of this fits in the live action question, but most of the movie is animated, so I didn't know how the rules applied here.

if a video uses footage from this movie, would it be considered anime?

(80% of the movie is fully animated, while the remaining 20% is live actors in an animated setting. I would be using most of the movie, so it's safe to say the video would be 80% animation.)

again, I thank you for your input.

Yea, that's the key question here. If it is made in Japan, and is primarily animated, it's cool. It might not be in the database yet, in which case it might take a little bit for the admins to approve it as anime.

well, it is made in japan, but while it is animated, I'm not sure I would put it in the same category as anime, as it has more to do with jpop than with anime in general. it just happens to be a mostly animated movie. it'll still be awhile before I get to it, but I want to make sure it's approved as anime prior to entering it into the database, as I know having any non-anime videos in the database is frowned upon. ^_^

as long as its animated in japan then its good. technicaly if someone did an eppisode of bugs bunny in japan you would be allowed to use it. the org's defenition of anime is "animation made in japan" . so to simplify things, yes you can use the source.

by the way, what is the anime called ?

Mini moni - The movie
O kashi na daiboken (The Great Cake Adventure)

it is listed in the database, as there are currently two amvs that have it in their source material, but I can't tell from looking at it whether it's listed as anime or not.
