      Same with most animation, as well. Typically, American cartoons will only be storyboarded/keyframed in the US, while an overseas studio handles the other 95%.

      Most films will have an official certificate of country of origin as part of bilateral or multilateral coproduction treaties, or tax incentive schemes. That will define the primary country of origin of a film.
