News flash: Animated films do
not have to look hyper-realistic all the time to capture the beauty of things. Just look at all the gorgeous hand-painted backgrounds found in older Disney movies like
Bambi and how beautiful the snow looks in
that film.

And even non-Disney movies like the HTTYD movies, Rise of the Guardians, Lego Movie, Shrek etc. You're missing so much because of one choice. It's 2014, dude. Let 2D animation go because not one movie now is 2D. CGI movies are just as good as 2D movies. Why should it matter what animation it should be? If the story and writing is good, that's good enough for me.
I don't believe I've ever said anything regarding Pixar's movies. I don't care if they make CG movies for Disney or not. I just want
Disney to stop making them, cause it's so stupid for both animation studios to be doing the exact same thing. And I don't like the CG movies of other studios like DreamWorks cause it's their fault there's too many CG movies in the first place, and it's their fault that Disney started giving up on 2D animation at all. It does not matter to me
what year this is. 2D animation is a timeless art form, not some old relic to leave behind. To even suggest that we should "let 2D animation go" just shows how little you value it as an art that you don't believe it has a right to live on and exist.
And people's tired old argument that "story is the most important thing in an animated film" is just a subtly disguised excuse for why we can lose 2D animation and not care if we do. It's why Disney could probably get away with throwing out a whole artistic medium to die while everything is forced to be done in CGI, and still come out successful cause their
writers may have put a lot of work into the story. And what does the writing ever have to do with the art form? Nothing. I don't care if
Frozen does have the exact same story it had when it would have been a 2D film. I hate it for how 2D animation was treated in the process of making it, and for the reasoning that
everything has to be CGI. I can't blame Pixar for their innovative passion of wanting to show people how good movies can look in computer animation, but it's not always
about how good CGI is, because 2D animation is also good and that's a more important thing for people to know these days.
If you really think everything studios make from now on should be CGI and that 2D doesn't matter, then by all means: support a Disney that's willing to ditch 2D for CGI because they believe it's all people care about, and keep supporting all those CG movies of theirs. That way you'll be adding even more fuel to their fire so we won't get any closer to getting 2D animation back.
