A better subject might have been 2-D or 3-D animation, but I was wondering what type of animation do you like better -- the traditional animation or computer animation. I ask this because it seems sooner or later tradiational animation may fade away. I mean every single computer animated film has been a hit... Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., A Bug's Life and Shrek... there is Jimmy Neutron, but that movie doesn't look like the kind of animation as the other 5ive.
Anyway, I guess it depends on what generation you grew up in... for all those 13 or 14 and under, I'm sure you'd say Computer Animated films... but, some will say traditional animation as well. Not that I'm much older than that, but old enough to where I was 6 years-old when the classic The Little Mermaid (10/10) was released (this is THE animated film that brought animation out of its 20 year-slump) I was 8 when the Best Picture Oscar nominee Beauty and the Beast (10/10) was released and 9 years-old when one of the highest grossing films of all time was released, Aladdin (10/10). those are the only animated films that get a 10/10 from me. So, I as you can see, I pick 2-D animation though those 3-D films are all pretty slick themselves.
What do you like better, 2-D or 3-D animation?
PS - What made me think of this was because I was looking at an old Entertainment Weekly from November when they did their Holiday movie preview and in the "movie" section they put the "Winners and Losers of the Week" and the Loser of the week of November 16, 2001 was 2D animation and they said "With Monsters, Inc. setting box office records and Shrek dominating DVD sales, these are dark days for flattoons." That is just sad!
