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.

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.

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