I'm hearing all sorts of mouths, saying that Disney animation is pretty near it's end. Their last movie 'Home on the Range' could not be called a succes, and Brother Bear was far from the greatness of Aladdin and Lion King as well. Seeing Disney is bringing out 'special edtion dvds' of pretty much all their movies, doesn't…
The Director of Chicken Little is a good, funny Director, when given his head, but how much control he actually has is up inthe air. Mark Dindall was the director for "The Emperor's New Groove" which was Disney's last "funny" film, and also "Cats Don't Dance" for the late lamented Turner Feature Animation. All the talk on…
Let's see the upside to this: If Disney dies Mickey Mouse will become public domain and noone will make Congress extend the copyright duration to prevent MM from expiring for some time.
I'm sorry to say this but there was a special either on the radio or PBS explaining why Disney was stopping the creation of 2D films... I didn't bother listening to it though. I think they just want to cut down on costs. Apparently it's "cheaper" to produce a 3D film than a 2D film. The sad part of creating 2D on the…
I really hope you are not right, i am still a disney fan. I see what you mean about the quality of the graphics but dont agree entirely, it is really difficult getting a decent stretch in 3d and 2d still allows more imagination through than 3d because all you have to do is draw your idea instead of make special rig that…
I liked Brother Bear. If Disney is moving to where the money is, that explains their goal clearly. I think Pixar should attempt to create a mostly 2D film. A project like that would definately prove storyline and characters are more important than the medium.
Thanks for the Link Nutsy, cool to see you've joined the new boards as well. I've signed up for the save disney foundation, but I doubt this thing will work. Oh well Edit: And allthough it looks great, I doubt we are waiting for a second Pixar..
Dig around here: http://www.savedisney.com/ and: www.animationnation.com Lots of info floating around. I'd get into how Michael Eisener is a halfwit, and all that good stuff, but you should find all that info in the 2 links. edit* Disney's foray into the world of 3d http://movies.msn.com/movies/FamilyFilms/ChickenLittle
I heard home on the range was the last of the tradition. The disney grandson was fighting for keep it though, not sure how that panned out. Brother Bear was a very moving story, and wone that I enjoyed, with yet another musical masterpiece from Phil Collins. Is it a major difference? I'd say so, but it gives the artist…
Frank are you sure about that? So no more traditional 2d animation?! You gotta be kidding me. When is the next flight to hollywood. I'm going to have a word with them Disney guys... I just bought the Aladdin special edition trillogy box. I never saw the King of Thiefs which is the third movie in the Aladdin trilogy, done…
