I apologize if I haven't been very supportive of your animation angst; I do care very much for drawn-animation, but I never really felt that 3-D could fully take over for a long period of time. It's a fad, but it really does stink that Disney had to fire all of its animators. They'll learn that it's not about the type of animation, it's what the story they use brings out in a particular form of animation. . .a movie has to have heart in order to be moving, and it depends on the story to decide which would bring out the best of it; a Bug's Life makes a good 3D movie, while the Lion King is better drawn. Each movie has its own personality which can then determine the style of the animation. I like them both, but I don't believe that it should have to be one or the other.

Thats okay, I'm not used to having to much understanding anyway.

The movie looks really beautiful. They've developed a lot since Nightmare Before Christmas.

Like Kerri says, I don't think we'll see traditional animation disappear; I think Disney is just having trouble getting it that the reason Pixar's movies do so well is because they're well-written, not because they're CG.
