"No New Hand-Drawn Films Being Turned Out at Disney".

I've commented on this in the past, and I have no desire to repeat myself. I'm sure old Walt is spinning in his cryogenic chamber right about now. It's a sad, sad day when Disney - Disney! - abandons traditional cel-animation for greener, computer-rendered pastures. Surely there's room for both?

Hopefully, Brother Bear and other already-in-production Disney animated features (unless they're dumping everything, something I have a hard time believing) will do good enough business to make the suits reconsider. Because, let's face it, the kids don't care whether or not it's in 3D. As long as the story is excellent, as long as the characters are interesting and the art brilliant, the audience will come.

Ironically enough, The Lion King DVD just became the fastest-selling re-release in home video history, selling in excess of three million copies in two days. So 3D is better than 2D how exactly?

(And no sardonic comments about how The Longest Journey: Static is abandoning its traditional 2D roots for full 3D. Games are different. They really are.)  ¶ 22:20
