yeah that looks terrible, lol. And this movie is inspired by Lady and the Tramp, more like a degenerate and disgusting version....
on topic of 2D at Disney. I sadly think that its very unlikely that we ever see a movie in 2D again a hybrid 2D/3D is likely closest we would ever get to 2D look. They don't have the Capital/Human Capital at current time for anything as grand as full length film.
For Now, 2D is more likely to happen when it comes to Specials and Shorts.
its interesting that we could legit see more 2D going forward. Some Question Marks.
-is the Tiana Special in 2D?
would be LAME if this was in 3D or hybrid. The Tv Show was supposed to be hybrid. Like Disney Animation execs always talk about how they allow their filmmakers to decide what style they want.........and just happens that every single time 3D wins over, LOL.Like what excuse is their to make a sequel to a 2D movie in anything but 2D??? Jared Bush at Annecy talked about the need for character consistency when making sequels. How is it not jarring to go from 2D Tiana and friends to hybrid version? Also bringing in Stephen Anderson to direct the Special who just happened to last direct the last 2D movie in Winnie the Pooh, feels weird to be hybrid. Like if it was 3D or hybrid why not give a directing chance to some up and coming person who wants a bigger gig.
Who knows, time will tell.
-Yesterday they announced that The Magic of Disney Animation will be a thing at Disney World and the involvement of Disney Animation Studio as been confirmed. Its also been confirmed that a Short Film will be at the attraction.
-in 2026 its 100th anniversary of Winnie and in 2027 its 50th anniversary of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Will we see anything there? There are rumors that Disney is looking to "take Pooh back to his animation roots", I don't think it will be a movie but some special/short could be the case.
-in 2027 its Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's 100th anniversary.
comes 2 questions for this one
1st=the Favreau Live Action/Animation Tv Show is likely the MAIN Oswald celebration thing. Will that be 2D Animation? Or 3D or even worse realistic bunny after Lion King/Jungle Book.
2nd=will we get some shorts/specials to celebrate on top of the Favreau TV show?
-in 2028, its Mickey Mouse's 100th anniversary. Surely the company will have to do something there. Whether movie, Featurette, new batch of shorts. Can see combination of more than 1 too, after all, its the Mouse who started it all.
the only recent + is that we are getting more frequent 2D at Disney in the 2020s compared to post 2011. Like
-2021=3 Goofy Shorts
-2022=1 Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Short, there was also 2 adverts in 2D 1 for Oswald and and an advert for 101 Dalmatians too.
-2023=Once Upon a Studio Short, like 80% of the short is 2D.
-2024=2 Donald Duck Shorts to celebrate his 90th.....if Donald got 2 Shorts for his 90th.....what will Oswald and Mickey get for 100th???? Surely something grandeur, one doesn't hit 100th once in lifetime.
nothing grand but at least more consistent. They just need a bigger project to really kick things for realz. Also we had Clements come back to mentor too. Which does indicate more upward trend.
