I want to watch beautiful 2D art in the theater.
The last time I watched 2D in theater it was Tarzan ,and I can't remember the experience because I was so young!
Did you catch Studio Ghibli's stuff? They had limited releases but even I could find screenings.
I'm going in February!Now, finding those Song of the Sea screenings. That's an adventure on itself.
That gif sucks there's no shading
I love how modern anime heading towards "Disney quality animation" is portrayed as a bad thing.shading
Charlotte (the lead character's blonde friend) was the best thing about Princess and the Frog.

Just watch Snow White. Even though it was made almost 80 years ago it still stands up today. The rotoscoping still is some of the finest examples in animation ever.
There's a lot more personality in these gifs than in the 3D models... :-\Pretty cool to see how Tangled would look in 2D.
I can watch these gifs all day.
Full-quality Sleeping Beauty .gifs would probably make computers explode so I'll just post these Eyvind Earle backgrounds:

I think this looks terrible. When they make it too obvious theyre using video to draw from it almost looks like crappy rotoscope.
It's funny how you can see Disney being caught off guard by the success of The Little Mermaid when watching it. It looks insanely cheap next to the ones that followed like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King. Oddly, its budget was quite high compared to those.

Lmfao that couldn't have been made to be anything other than a joke right? There's multiple distinct reasons why simpler styles and character designs are the norm in western animation. Less is more philosophy=easier for the audience to remember the character design, easier to animate so that the end result looks better being two of the biggest reasons. Anime has some shit tier animation more often than not, and not so coincidentally, the most memorable ones don't use insanely detailed designs.
2D animation will have a comeback once people eventually get tired of 3D animation.
The only 3D Disney film I thought was that great was maybe Wreck-It Ralph.
People will never be tired of 3d animation as it's always looking better and better with each big film.2D animation will have a comeback once people eventually get tired of 3D animation.
They were developing Frozen as a 2D animated feature, then Princess and the Frog and Winnie the Pooh bombed so that pretty much sealed 2D's fate at Disney.
I often wonder if Frozen had come out in 2D before Princess and the Frog, if it would have been as successful as Frozen is now, and if it would have brought back a 2D renaissance.

It probably won't ever because, last I checked, Disney no longer possesses the rights, and therefore can't do anything with the property. It's also why Deep Jungle (based on Tarzan) has never, nor will ever appear in another Kingdom Hearts game (not like it's a loss in that respect, since it's one of my least favorite worlds in the franchise).Honestly Tarzan feels like it doesn't get the recognition it deserves among Disney's 2D greats. Phil Collins work on the soundtrack was phenomenal.
I've been reading the Hellboy Library Editions for the past year or so now, and I can definitely see the similarities. I love his style.Still blows my mind that Mike Mignola (Hellboy) worked on Atlantis.
Budget is a big part of it, also the fact that they seem to value quantity over quality.Regarding your comment about anime often having shit tier animation. I agree that the anime tv series often have horrible animation.
However, from my understanding, that has more to do with the budgets for anime in general being much much lower than their western/american counterparts, rather than it being because there is more detail present in japanese animation. Even the absolute top of the pop level of anime like Spirited Away only had a budget of 19 million dollars. While a movie like Lilo and Stich had a budget of 80 million.
With the success of many recent CG films I don't think we're anywhere near close to seeing a crash in the market. And 2D animation has been doing great, at least on CN with all those amazing shows."People will never be tired of 2D animation."
Jesus Christ this film.
Winnie The Pooh (2011) being a massive box-office brick and Tangled being huge despite its budget woes sealed the deal for John.Don Bluth strikes me as the sort of brilliant visionary who needs a leash on him. For every great idea he has there are five terrible ones.
Princess and the Frog didn't kill 2D animation, John Lasseter did.

This is such a fail.http://i6.minus.com/i0j5XpMmQkvC4.jpg
Did Glen Keane bail out of Disney because frozen was not made in 2D?

The whole point of those tests is so that the animators would know what to go for and how the characters should be animated. And they captured it wonderfully. It's literally just the 2D style captured in 3D.There's a lot more personality in these gifs than in the 3D models... :-\
Have you seen the short he did for google? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qnQqXr838E
