A method for generating a stereoscopic frame comprising: obtaining, from a computer-readable database, two or more two-dimensional frames of a two-dimensional animated film, each two-dimensional frame depicting one or more objects (115, 125, 315, 415, 515) on a background and comprising two or more digitized layers (110, 120, 130, 310, 320, 330, 410, 510, 610, 620, 630), the two or more digitized layers comprising a digitized background layer (130, 330) and one or more other digitized layers, wherein the digitized background layer comprises the background and each other digitized layer comprises one or more of the one or more objects (115, 125, 315, 415, 515), wherein each object is included in only one of the other digitized layers, wherein each digitized layer is a digital version of a corresponding drawing on a cell, wherein the background drawing on a cell corresponding to the digitized background layer is larger than the drawings on cells corresponding to the one or more other digitized layers, and wherein the same background drawing on a cell is used for the digitized background layers of at least two of the two or more two-dimensional frames; determining a pixel offset for each pixel in a layer of the two or more digitized layers; generating one or more left eye layers (420, 440, 520, 540, 706, 704, 702) and one or more right eye layers (430, 450, 530, 550, 756, 754, 752) for the two or more digitized layers, wherein one or more of the left eye layers are horizontally offset from a respective one or more of the right eye layers, wherein each pixel offset provides the horizontal offset for the corresponding pixel in the one or more left and right eye layers to achieve stereoscopic depth of the two or more digitized layers in the stereoscopic frame; combining the one or more generated left eye layers into a composite left eye frame; and combining the one or more generated right eye layers into a composite right eye frame, wherein: the composite left eye frame is used as a left image of a stereoscopic frame and the composite right eye frame is used as a right image of the stereoscopic frame, and determining each pixel offset is based on a desired depth of the corresponding eye layer in the stereoscopic frame and a depth map for the object. obtaining, from a computer-readable database, two or more two-dimensional frames of a two-dimensional animated film, each two-dimensional frame depicting one or more objects (115, 125, 315, 415, 515) on a background and comprising two or more digitized layers (110, 120, 130, 310, 320, 330, 410, 510, 610, 620, 630), the two or more digitized layers comprising a digitized background layer (130, 330) and one or more other digitized layers, wherein the digitized background layer comprises the background and each other digitized layer comprises one or more of the one or more objects (115, 125, 315, 415, 515), wherein each object is included in only one of the other digitized layers, wherein each digitized layer is a digital version of a corresponding drawing on a cell, wherein the background drawing on a cell corresponding to the digitized background layer is larger than the drawings on cells corresponding to the one or more other digitized layers, and wherein the same background drawing on a cell is used for the digitized background layers of at least two of the two or more two-dimensional frames; determining a pixel offset for each pixel in a layer of the two or more digitized layers; generating one or more left eye layers (420, 440, 520, 540, 706, 704, 702) and one or more right eye layers (430, 450, 530, 550, 756, 754, 752) for the two or more digitized layers, wherein one or more of the left eye layers are horizontally offset from a respective one or more of the right eye layers, wherein each pixel offset provides the horizontal offset for the corresponding pixel in the one or more left and right eye layers to achieve stereoscopic depth of the two or more digitized layers in the stereoscopic frame; combining the one or more generated left eye layers into a composite left eye frame; and combining the one or more generated right eye layers into a composite right eye frame, the composite left eye frame is used as a left image of a stereoscopic frame and the composite right eye frame is used as a right image of the stereoscopic frame, and determining each pixel offset is based on a desired depth of the corresponding eye layer in the stereoscopic frame and a depth map for the object.
