Please recommend some interesting hand-drawn rotoscoping...

[simplecarnival]

Besides A-Ha's music videos and the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds section of Yellow Submarine, what are some really cool examples of hand-drawn rotoscoping? The more surreal, the better.

(Computer-assisted rotoscoping like Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly doesn't count. I'm looking for the hand-drawn stuff.)

Thanks!

Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings (1978).

Dennis Tupicoff, "Chainsaw". A serious and dense movie, completely rotoscopted in a good style. Met the guy once, he's tall! and very nice.
"Alois Nebel" http://www.aloisnebel.cz/?lang=en. They did it nearly completely in AfterFX, tracing keys and then used the AFX tweening to good effect.
Films by Jeff Scher http://fezfilms.net/. You have to look, he's the "animator in residence" for the NY times (what a job!). Works mostly in watercolor, with a beamer on top projecting images down on the paper.
Robert Breer, "Fuji" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HudkC6Oapww from 1974. I like this one, has a dream-like quality.
There's so much more, try to search Cartoonbrew with "rotoscope".

Thanks, guys! I'm aware of the Bakshi LOTR movie, but I've never seen any of the ones slowtiger recommended. Keep the suggestions coming!

Thanks for the excellent suggestions, dm!

FWIW, I'm a Tom Waits fan and had no idea that the "Tom Waits for No One" video existed -- interesting!
