But postscript doesn't support the concept of *time* does it?

I suppose, if you could generate cells for classic animations, and then
shoot them individually (i.e render the animation as 25 cells/second, drawn
and colored by a postscript printer, then do a direct transfer just like old
Walt did "back in the day".
