A lot of animated films have been soulless for a while now, I think it coincided with everything going CG. 

I disagree with you completely.  Films like Finding Nemo, Toy Story, WALL-E, and recently, Dispicable Me have had tons of heart.

On the other hand, look at some of Disney's last animated efforts, like Home on the Range, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, and Atlantis.  Yeah, not many classics there.  It really has little to do with the style of animation but rather the quality of the story and characters.


Are you absolutely sure you disagree with me completely? Do you disagree with everything I've written in the post or just the first two lines? We at least partially agree that early Disney is much better than the identikit crap they've released recently. 

Finding Nemo was a wonderful film and an exception to the rule. Toy Story was okayish but I never understood the hype. Wall E was toilet imho.

Japanese animated films seem to take greater artistic leaps than Western ones while not jumping on every fad. A lot of them use CG for backgrounds but stick to conventional animation for faces, recognising it is more expressive.

In conclusion, I find it odd people make distinctions between say Cars 1 & 2 or KFP 1 or 2 being better. No matter which turd is browner and smellier, it's all just shit to be avoided.



Too much planning, and you'll never get anything done.
