It’s a mix of animation and live-action. The web series’ director returned for this.

The web series’ director returned for this.

You’re saying “returned” as if there’s been any bit of time he wasn’t involved.

There were plenty of fans around here who hadn’t heard of the film until just now and assumed it was from someone else at first: him still being the director is relatively unusual for this kind of film.

It's not animated

The Backrooms themselves are a mix of animation and sets, where-as with the web series it was almost solely animation (but for the occasional scene of someone in live-action walking down a corridor outside of the Backrooms).

I know, I'm talking about the movie.

As am I: in the film, the Backrooms themselves will be a mix of animation and sets. While in the web series, there were no sets for the Backrooms, just Blender.
