The other day my mom said something that i found really insulting to
the 2d animation movies, she said that they stopped doing those because
they were no longer appealing to the audience and that they were
supposed to be discontinued, and i just thought how bullshit of an
argument that is.
Comparing 2d animation with 3d and saying one is
superior is like saying that digital art is better than traditional
art, better than the fucking Mona Lisa, The creation of Adam, in fact,
is a pretty ignorant comparation to do because one does not suprass the
other, but new techniques are getting invented and we invest in those
more.
Is just another way of animation, in fact, the shitty move
all those studios did by closing their 2d animation studios eas
pointless and it´s gonna cost them greatly, because someday people are
gonna want to go back to the 2d animation and studios like Disney or
Dreamworks will be too scared to do that, that will be the day that
other studios will take upon them and give us what we want.
2D animation has the most beautiful animation i´ve ever seen, there´s something in it that i can´t explain that makes a big difference from watching cgi, and what i think would make a great combination is the great amount of details that you see in CGI and 3D movies into 2D techniques so you could expect to see shit like this
Atlantis (2001)
Treasure Planet (2002)
Sinbad (2003)
5 centimeters per second (2007)
The princess and the frog (2009)
Children who lost their Voices (2011)
Beyond the boundary (2015)
Your name (2016)
So whoever dares to say 2d animation is dead is wrong and also a bitch
Most of the disney ones you pointed out have some elements of 3d in them. Or rotoscopped from 3d models in the case of sinbad. As for the anime It could be a toss up. I don’t watch too much anime from the current stuff but I think they kinda use some bits of 3d as well. But I could just be talking out of my ass.
the reason why 2d animation in feature is practically dead in the west is because the animation giants here all figured out that 3d animation if far cheaper to produce than 2d. and that same reasoning is how you end up with reused models. (its why we’re getting live-action remakes of classic 2d movies. it why we’re getting more sequels than we are originals)
its cheaper.
thats why, short and simple. 2d animation is expensive as all hell to make. and for companies like disney thats all theyll ever care about.
