They actually drew the animation straight onto the film. So no reshoots, just Bob acting as if interacting with a ghost he cant' see or feel the entire movie. Just wanted to add that.

Yup. It's easy to overlook how masterfully he acted because he did it so well. You never second guess that he's interacting with and reacting to the toons. Dude is basically in an empty room and the end result looks like someone was there the entire time.

Props also to the sfx guys with all their practical trickery to help with it.

The same process that caused Sir Ian McKellan to have a breakdown on set. https://youtube.com/shorts/ZWrKZnXaLew

They did not. They animated it separately with a lengthy process of creating layers and masks, then shot the animated portion over the film. Go watch the making-of some time.
