Saw that last week, but I stumbeled on it again, so I thought I'd share.
No more 2D animation at Disney. I wonder if old Walt rests that well.

[Turnsky]

Walt would be spinning in his grave.. 'tis sad news, for it was 2d animation that made Disney studios in the first place..

[Fineus]

I imagine it's much easier to work with and manipulate 3D artwork such as with Pixar studios - plus the kids probably go for it a lot more. I still say you can't beat the old classics (Jungle Book, Snow White etc.)

[Nico]

Ah well, anyway, now that I think about it, I don't care.

Gah! My favorite Disney movie shouted from the fingers of an0n...  

[an0n]

Lion King totally ****ing trounces all-over every other Disney movie ever made.

If Disney were the English Crown, Lion King would be the huge diamond embedded in it.

[Solatar]

wow...I agree with an0n...

That's gay. It means we'll probably not see any new movies with human characters in it, like one of my favorites: Aladdin. In fact, now that i think of it, most of their classic movies center on human characters. but sadly, not until CG improves somewhat will it be cost effective to make human centered movies.



and the Lion King=The roXor

[an0n]

I think it's because it deviated from the usual Disney plot:

Happiness But Not Perfect -> Tradgedy -> Lowest Point In Life -> Kind Strangers -> Gaining Happiness -> Losing Happiness -> Paradise -> Maiming Of 'Evil' Forces

Lion King kinda went:

UnEasy Happiness -> Tradgedy -> Struggle -> More Struggle -> Being Dicked On Some More -> Taking Control Of Life -> Murder -> Paradise

Basically, it ripped-off Hamlet.

[an0n]

Aladdin was good. The Guard-Chase scene was awesome.

And Aladdin calling Abu his 'esteemed offendee'.

[Carl]

The Lion King was based on Hamlet, not ripping it off. The Disney guys said so. *always believes the Disney guys*

The Lion King and Aladdin have one thing in common: they're both darker than most of the other Disney movies. It's a refreshing change.

[Nico]

Yeah. Lion King was also a rip off of King Leo, but that's beyond the point I suppose

[an0n]

And Aladdin was a rip-off of......err......Les Miserables? As well as just about every Arabian Nights tale ever told.

[mikhael]

How do you get Les Mis from Aladdin? Where's Javert tracking Alladin, dogging him to the last, even though he's become a good man? Ali wasn't bad, but it wasn't Les Mis, even slightly.

[an0n]

The head of the palace guard....err.....Kasuf, was it?

Aladdin steals a piece of bread and Kasuf never stops trying to get him. Even after he becomes Prince, he's still out to get him.

[Unknown Target]

I liked Treasure Planet. Nice fantasy ride

Lion King, was...meh...never knew what the biggy was. Except for Timone and Poomba: They R0xor j00 box0rs!

Anyway, an0n's right, pretty much EVERY Disney original movie went: [Happy]--->[something new happens or comes about]---->[causes problems]---->[conflict]---->[conflict retified in final battle-ish thingy]---->[happy forever]

[Falcon]

hmmm.... (thinks about threatining Disney) *they will listen* :devil:

[an0n]

Oh dear God.

I'll wait for someone with and English Degree to come along and properly *****-slap you, but sufficed to say that comment was kinda dumb.

[Flipside]

Disney IS 2D cartoons, from Snow White onwards, if they give up, then it will be the end of hand-drawn animation outside Art colleges. Yes, I enjoyed Pixar and Stuff like that, but what made Disney famous was the skill of their artists in bringing characters to life.

Admittedly, CG Artists are very skilled of their own right, but Disney not having drawn animation is like Manga with lip-sync, too unbelievable to believe!
