Guys. Guuuuys. I am so bored. My whole week was spent trying to get myself in shape for a chemistry exam, and now that it's over my brain is mush and I don't know what to do with myself. Which obviously means it's time to dick around on the internet and prattle at length about dumb stuff for a while. NOW I HAVE A PLAN.

Magical things await you! )

I'm not expecting great things from the Princess and the Frog, though I'll admit a lot of that stems from all the speculation that going on about it, and people pinning all their hopes and dreams of the first black princess. Milestone or not, given Disney's recent track record, I will be very surprised if the movie has any lasting value. But yeah, tl;dr, at least it's 2D so I hope it doesn't tank.
You'll just have to start your own studio, if it comes down to it. :]

Totally with you on CG though. Cold, unfeeling...and it requires you to really be more of a technician than an animator. The software provides too much of a barrier between what you see in your head and what you put onscreen. Maya is made of evil, Max isn't much better, and there is hardly any drawing involved. The reason Pixar does so well, I think, is because they force their animators to draw everything out first before they even touch a computer.
And even Pixar's going down the tubes, I think. Up doesn't seem to be taking any risks with character design, technique ( ... )
