Disney Live On wrote:Well as far as animated classics go I could maybe live without the Aristocats, Dumbo and the Jungle Book, even though I have bought two of them already and still plan to buy the other. Besides that I've noted the Disney movies missing from my collection that I don't really think about are the Disney Pixars. I don't know if you can count them as 'animated classics' but I really don't give a ----- about these films. I find that they are usually forgetable, have some really annoying pionts to their characters, actors or animation and are basically the lazy way to make a film.
Where the classic Disney films took effort since everything had to be done from scratch and time consuming frame by frame drawn animation, 3d films are very easy to put together and the characters almost all look the same (example: The Incredibles).
Seriously? I would suggest picking up a copy of Nemo, or Incredibles and watching some of the behind the scenes footage. Yes, computers are involved, but i dont think this in anyway makes those who make them "lazy." There's a lot of time spent making these films (2-4 years? much like regular animation), because a computer just doesn't do it for you, you have to know how to manipulate the characters, and coding, and such, as well as lighting. It's a much more complicated process then you seem to imagine.
I got into discussion with a friend as we watched the special feature on "Deep Canvas" on the Tarzan dvd. And he wrote it off about how it's nothing like real painting, and mixing colors, etc. And I agreed that, yes it's easier to find the color you want most likely on the computer, however, as the feature went on, he soon realized that just because it's done on a computer, it still needs talent to create the product, and likely just as much, if not more, time.
