Definitely agree with you there. The only ones left in the world for quite a long time who are doing work on this level where the great animators an artist in Japan. I don’t know whether this is indicating the dawn of the return of to the true 2D animation to the west, but it’s certainly helping to get the ball rolling.

Oh yes. Such a really lovely movie.

@middenway Yeah that's true, but stiiiill feels like Brave should've gotten a shout out here.

@Slowfweek15 Yeah I've seen this myself during my university time on my games development course looking at the people who're doing animation. Really great work.

Yeah for me Bravo was the one to reeeally change things up first along side Entangled and looks even more amazing to this day. Brave is just sooo wonderful, both for its story, art, CGI, animation and music.

@Julia-lk8jn Well to be honest Frozen has done this as well. It's just that that was not set in a Latin but a Norwegian type culture.

I 100% agree. Even though it isn't a direct Disney film, Brave reeeeally should've at least been mentioned here for what it brought to the world on sooo many levels.

100% agree. The last time we got a great 2G western elevation, more specifically from America, probably have to be treasure Island. For that one they really wanted to go out with a bang and they sure did achieve that. I know The Princess and the Frog was really the last one but in all honesty it’s nowhere near as memorable. If you want to continue watching 2-D films to this day though then you’re deafly better of continuing to check out Japanese anime films. They really are basically bordering on perfection in every sense. It all depends on your favourite genre and style. Highly recommended Weathering With You by Makoto Shinkai.

I think the majority of us would agree with you there. Anime thankfully still gives this to us and has only gotten better, rather than having been just cut off in favour of complete CGI. Treasure Planet is regarded as the last great 2D animated movie by Disney and it was absolutely beautifully done, but they apparently 'deliberately under promoted it' because they wanted it to be their last one so they could welcome in the fully CG animation work. Basically what you're talking about is the Uncanny Valley effect, where if something looks basically more real, whilst you still knowing it isn't real, then you struggle more to trust it because your brain still knows something is off, as well as struggling to project emotions as much because they're trying to will those all in. It's the same problem we're seeing in the games industry. This is something Japan hasn't had for a very long time as they're never gone completely away from 2D ink style animation, even if they may use CG to help in the background or underneath. It reeeally does feel now, one way or another, that Disney is going to have to go back to using 2D effects again if it wants to survive long term before they reach a kind of roadblock where every one of there movies characters start to look the same with the same base facial design and environment CGI style.

@lia_berry 🍓 Not really mate. I've found it more to go the other way. It really can depend on age and where you're able to get your material from. Especially if you're also into Anime which is viewable across all again groups. I think a lot of people would agree more kid and adult in the West would be watching mooore 2D animation films if they were actually made by the big name western companies again.

Doesn’t really matter if it did or didn’t anyway. The Oscars are behind the times on what is real or not. I trust the BAFTA’s results a lot more, and thankfully once again they were very accurate to how the films really were, rather than who paid the society the most.

Matthew Champion Definitely. Anime gets the exact same problem with the west. It always tries to lump it in with the rest of western animations and most the time never even gives it a full nomination in anything. This was perfectly represented in the Oscars this year. Weathering With You should have at least been up three nomination if not a win in the 2020 best animated feature category, but instead it was Toy Story 4! I mean...WHAT? It’s just ridiculous now.

You see, we do still have what it takes to make high-quality 2-D animation in the west. I knew we could do it, if we were actually willing to invest the time and skill set in traditional capabilities as well as those on the technical side to achieve them. Japan does it in a different way which makes it a slightly more unique style but still essentially the same thing. Only if we keep pushing for development in this area such as with this film can we get back what we lost almost 20 years ago now.

This isn't really HD.

How this got 2.6 dislikes, I will never know. Aaall of this is just incredible work.

It’s an absolute masterpiece overall. Artists and animators as well as directors will be studying this for years to come.

amybana Yeah, if he’s willing to have his heart ripped out of his chest and be crying for about two days.

It's one of the reasons why I wouldn't mind being a concept artist in the animation industry.
