As part of the 1994 promotion of the Snow White home video release in the United Kingdom, Weetabix Food Company produced 8 trading cards, issued 1 per box in their Ready Brek cereal. When viewed from different angles, the lenticular design of each card gives the illusion of depth within the alternating images. Slightly smaller than normal size trading cards, they measure 3 1/4" x 2 1/4". Not a super easy set to come by today, although they do pop up for sale now and again online.
I put together this short video showing the lenticular design in action. Enjoy.
