Hand-Drawn Animation Dead at Disney

Well, Sotiris and SWillie!, they didn't make mention of anything about CG when talking about the short, did they?

No, but he did say "something old and something new". I can't think of any other way to interpret that, although I suppose it could be something completely different. I'll be surprised if this short ends up solely hand-drawn.

If it DOES end up being solely hand-drawn, I'll be more than pleased. Don't get me wrong; Paperman's animation was done beautifully. But I'd love to see something a little more traditionally done as soon as we can.

Wasn't "The Little Match Girl" the last fully 2D animated short from Disney?
You didn't expect to see anything like that during the Chicken Little era

Technically speaking, no. Last one I recall was How To Set Up Your Home Theater or something. All I know is that it featured Goofy and it was played before National Treasure 2.

Actually, the last one was 'The Ballad of Nessie'.

Right, I forgot about that.

This roller coaster is making me nauseous. BUT, this is good news. Hopefully, it's a Donald short. Man would I love to see a modern Donald short.

I know. It's like we're acting like those guys.

What if by 'something old' he means Oswald? Now THAT would be all kinds of awesome

Probably just wishful fanboy thinking here.

What I think; Either a Mickey short since next year will be his 85th birthday or a Roger Rabbit short since WFRR will be 25 that same year.

I didn't read all the pages, but I'm just gonna chime in. Princess and the Frog was not their best work. The poor box office had to do with poor marketing, fall release instead of summer, and a horrible soundtrack. If racism was the issue, Mulan, Aladdin and Pocahontas would have received the same reception.

Beg pardon? If Princess and the Frog did poorly, it wouldn't have made back most of its production costs, just shy of a little under $1 million. Heck, you didn't even figure DVD/Blu-ray sales or the international gross.

Plus, it didn't do Lion King numbers mainly due to being overshadowed by overgrown Smurfs/Indians.

Ahhh yes. Welcome to the beginning of the circle.

Yep, as I've said before, The Princess and the Frog has actually been much more profitable for Disney than Bolt, Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons have. So its classification as a box-office bomb is pretty flat-out wrong. Disappointment? Sure, but the Mouse House didn't lose any money on it.

Thank you, Estefan.
