Animating booleans

Does anybody have any info or tuts on animating booleans? This is for movie work, not for a game engine by the way. Its basically for things like stabbing or cutting somthing. Also can booleans be animated on an object that has been physiqued?

Lead paint: delicious but deadly!

animating the booleans are dead easy... just click on the boolean sub-object and go animating
alternatively, you could use a morpher (its used for facial animation so why not other animation)
(combining boolean and anything be prepared for a crash or fifty)

Thanks StrkEagle, to tell you the truth, I never tried I just assumed that it was difficult. Stupid me.
