===Animation=== Another manifestation of lip syncing is the [[art]] of making an animated character appear to speak in a prerecorded track of [[dialogue]]. The lip sync technique to make an [[animation|animated]] character appear to speak involves figuring out the timings of the speech (breakdown) as well as the actual animating of the lips/mouth to match the dialogue track. The earliest examples of lip sync in animation were attempted by [[Max Fleischer]] in his 1926 short ''[[My Old Kentucky Home (1926 film)|My Old Kentucky Home]]''. The technique continues to this day, with animated films and [[television]] shows such as ''[[Shrek]]'', ''[[Lilo & Stitch]]'', and ''[[The Simpsons]]'' using lip syncing to make their artificial characters talk. Lip syncing is also used in comedies such as ''[[This Hour Has 22 Minutes]]'' and political satire, changing totally or just partially the original wording. It has been used in conjunction with translation of films from one language to another, for example, ''[[Spirited Away]]''. Lip syncing can be a very difficult issue in translating foreign works to a domestic release, as a simple translation of the lines often leaves overrun or underrun of high dialog to mouth movements.
