Ah, yes indeed. This was supposedly some years ago. And of course today
you could well do it via computer graphics. I was somewhat astonished 
to learn that the puppies in "101 Dalmations" are computer generated 
(but I've only seen the commercials on TV, not the actual movie). 
Thus CG has basically met the Turing test for realism. I've seen a 
similar thing in a Dairy commercial with the cows doing a (cow) bell
ringing gig. It opens an interesting question that if you composite
"real" stereo images with CG images in stereo how difficult getting 
reasonable looking stuff might be (especially in motion). And of course
I'd guess a beer truck would be simple to generate as opposed to puppies
and cows :-)
