Dizco kills off traditional animation

Suspended Animation "Pencils down. Disney terminates traditional animation"

I love animations. I love 2D Cel and 3DCGI animations. One is not better than the other. Using one instead of the other to reduce costs can make an excellent movie look crap, even if the story is great. However, using one instead of the other will not make a movie better if the story is crap. If you start with a bad story, cut corners, sack animators and use CGI to cut costs, you'll end up with a really nice looking pile of pooh.

Never mind the quality, feel the length!

I remember in the 70's when some animators including Hanna-Barbera decided to go the fewer cells route to save money.This was in terms of Saturday morning cartoons. You *do* notice. The fluidity of motion, attention to detail, and picture quality all suffer. Sometimes dramatically.

I enjoy 3d animation too. I'm a Pixar Studios fan. But if the tried to do the 3D CGI thing to a classic
like Snow White for example (remake), I think some people whould get the heebie jeebies. Or at least object.
