Twice Upon a Time is a 1983 American animated adventure fantasy comedy film co-directed by John Korty and Charles Swenson from a screenplay by Korty, Swenson, Suella Kennedy, and Bill Couturié.[4] The first animated film produced by George Lucas, it uses a form of cutout animation which the filmmakers called "Lumage," involving prefabricated cutout plastic pieces that the animators moved on a light table.[5]

The film features improvised dialogue and a visual blend of live-action, traditional 2D-animation, and stop-motion.
