- Do you miss 2D animated movies? I do! Major studios have long dropped 2D animation in feature films, but their reasons just aren't good enough to stop 2D animation in movies forever.
***This video focuses on western animation, since 2D animation is still prevalent in anime, etc.

I want 2D animation to ACTUALLY come back on the big screen alongside keeping 3D animation there ONE DAY!
I know this is a stupid question, forgive me. but this is just out of curiosity
Why some people who missed 2D style animation not watching anime?
I think they produce anime in large quantities until now, like tv series or movie
I meant on the BIG SCREEN in AMERICA!
@@AbahDirgaLv997Anime refers to a distinct form of 2D animation. I believe some individuals desire a return to American or Disney-style animation.
@@AbahDirgaLv997it's more than JUST the art medium used, I love anime, but if someone wants more Aladdin im not going to recommend attack on Titan lol, just the types of stories being told are so different. The closest to traditional western animation that I've seen in anime are studio Ghibli movies, but even then, Ghibli is pretty much dead
Don't worry! The day the earth blew up and fixed are fully 2d and are coming this year 2024!
2d has always had a special place in my heart
Hi, have you thought Wish gonna look very 2D?
Where in in your heart particularly?
I don't want to put down 3D animation at all. But I've always found 2D much more fluid, beautiful and stylish. Especially when most 3D films focus so much on looking realistic. Many of them look the same.
I really feel like I would've preferred Frozen so much more if it was 2D animated. Those pencil sketches look way better than the actual movie! Great video btw!
2D animation is good and so on, but let's not forget that it is audience who stopped to watch 2D animation in cinema. It weren't evil producers, nor workers, it was US, the people, who stopped to give money to 2D cartoons by watching them in theaters. So next time you know there is a 2D movie in a theater and you don't go there, then don't blame someone else that 2D animation is extinct.
@@mikhailbandurist8652 yet anime is successful
I don't think it would change what people thought of the plot.
@@aligmal5031 That's a completely different audience than with movies shown in this video.
@@CarloNassar yes but anime is successful in the west and it's 2D
When I was a kid, we had a DVD of Peter Pan. I didn’t think much of when it would’ve been made - I was only a kid. But when I found out a few years ago that it came out in *1953* I was flabbergasted. I thought it was fairly recent!
*That’s* how well animation ages.
As a kid I thought all the Disney princess movies were made around the same time (like the 80s or 90s). I was so shocked to learn that Snow White was from the 30s and Sleeping Beauty was from the 50s!
@@StephanieKimPascaru yeah it's really mind blowing how well animation holds up and now with digital cleaning of footage they're basically immortalized
Same I also had a DVD as a kid and thought outer pan was recent I miss having a DVD back when the internet was just starting
@awesomemercerdude
I saw Peter Pan as a kid in the 90s. And learning it came out in 1953 gave me the same reaction you had. I also had the same reaction to Pinnochio, Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatons.
Wait what? xD
2d animation has it's own charm and special warm feel, hard to explain.
That warm feel is probably the nostalgia feeling
@@TheMrBADGAS no because anime is 2D and successful
@@aligmal5031 how stupid western animation deserve no more 2 d
2D had way more human feel and emotion, 3D sometimes just doesn't feel as "human"
I agree with the exception of Cal Arts... I'm not a fan of Cal Arts...
8:04 THIS. This is what have been plaguing me all this time too - realizing how many times we though we'd reached the peak of realism, only to re-watch it but a few years later to realize how wrong we were. Every time I go to see another gorgeous Pixar animation - it's spoiled for me by wondering how quickly it'll age.
A *LOT* of visuals in film and TV before the mid-2000s age. I think until after the mid-2000s is when we really don't have to worry about film visuals aging.
I feel sad that i have to thoroughly search for 2D animated films nowadays. Atlantis and El Dorado always excited me with its sense of adventure, and I honestly couldn't see their artstyles in any other form than 2D. 3D can be great, but you are correct about CGI becoming dated over time, whereas 2D stays timeless. :)
The early 2000s had some really great 2D adventure films, El Dorado, Atlantis, Sinbad, Treasure Planet, etc. I wish there were more of them!
If you’re looking for some 2D animated films I suggest checking out Cartoon Saloon’s films. Wolf walkers is their most recent
I think the reason I love watching anime nowadays is because I loved 2D movies. I really miss them and I haven't watched any 2D to 3D movies (for example winnie the pooh, moomin, etc) because it just doesn't feel like. All the characters feel dead and cold and it makes me sad. I really wish filmmakers start appreciating 2D animation more - I love it. Also all the children's shows are 3D animated too...

Anastasia. Atlantis. El Dorado. Jungle Book. Tarzan.
Timeless animations that I'd watch over and over.
I mourn the downfall of classical hand drawn animation. The movie: "The Fox and the Hound" is one of my favourites because the artistry is so beautiful and the characters look so alive. It is more than a movie, it is a piece of art!
I do miss 2D hand drawn traditional animation so much. It’s really unique, colorful, expressive and magical. It can do things that live-action and even 3D CGI can only dream of. We need more of it in movie theaters. Disney, Dreamworks and all other studios should invest more 2D animated feature films in the future.
However, i’m a huge fan of 3D CGI animation as well. Actually my favorite animated films are in 3D: The Incredibles, Spider-Verse and Ratatouille. But that’s not because it’s in 3D, it’s mostly because of the storytelling. I think now we are seeing new animation techniques that changing the industry for good like Klaus, Spider-Verse and Arcane. Combining the best of both worlds into one.
TL DR: 3D animation is beautiful when it’s done right, but 2D animation should come back as well to have variety. Both are good in my book.
I miss 2d animation too. If you crave it though, you can find things like CBS Storybreak on RUclips even though those were made for TV, it’s still 2d animation. I think independent studios could use this opportunity to make a 2d movie and maybe that’ll bring 2d animation back into the public eye.

2D ESPECIALLY hand drawn has my heart. It’s why i will always be a fan of Don Bluth. He’s made some missteps, but he truly loves his craft
2D animation is not an evolution step to 3D animation but, for me it is like its own genre. The imperfections of the medium and the limitations of it adds up to the charm of the art form.
I do miss 2D animated movies and I feel that animation studios can be able to make them without having to make them hand-drawn. They can make 2D animated movies digitally which is easier & less time consuming than making hand-drawn animated movies and 3D animated movies.
I’ve been saying this to my friends for a really long time. 3d films have their place, but 2d has something special about it that just can’t be replicated. Winnie the Pooh and princess and the frog were fantastic movies, and to have the department cut after that was a big punch to the gut. Bring it back please
I wish 2d animation would make a grand comeback In the west, while it's still alive here in Asia with anime and anime movies, it's slowly being replaced with 3d.
2D animation is good and so on, but let's not forget that it is audience who stopped to watch 2D animation in cinema. It weren't evil producers, nor workers, it was US, the people, who stopped to give money to 2D cartoons by escaping to watch them in theaters. So next time you know there is a 2D movie in a theater and you don't go there, then don't blame someone else that 2D animation is extinct.
@@mikhailbandurist8652I was like 5 when Disney gave up on 2D I didn’t get a say in what movie we went and saw. Also op touched on this in their video and disagreed but clearly you didn’t watch the video
I feel like this would be a great video to introduce the massive amount of 2D animated movies coming from non-hollywood places. There are plenty of French, Japanese, and American indie films that are 2D animated, they need a light to shine on them.
Did you know?
Disney’s “Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again” has a 2D animation style, making it the first 2D animated film released under Walt Disney Pictures since “Winnie the Pooh”.
This is why anime is getting more popular
Exactly,just watch anime,no need for western tradational animation
@@affren3148 NO, there are some stories that are best told by westerners in a western style, and anime has its own problems. By all means let western and anime styles influence each other, the big eyes in anime came from Disney in the first place for example, but we don't need to give Japan a monopoly on 2d animation.
@@OriginalAkivara that's why we also have France and South Korea
I've spent countless hours watching the special features on Disney DVDs learning about the 9 old men, multiplane cameras, the animation department and all of the infrastructure that Walt and Co put together over the years, and it makes me sad that we'll probably never see such high quality, big-budget, passion-driven animation ever again. I miss it so much, but at the same time I'm grateful that I at least got to live at the tail end of the era. It was also pretty cool getting to see the rise of 3D, so there's that. Seeing Toy Story on the big screen as an 8 year old just blew my mind!
The behind the scenes are so fun to watch! It's amazing to see how much work went into the story, the concept art, technology, animation, etc.; the Disney movies really felt like passion projects. I also think it's cool seeing how much 3D has advanced over the years, and so quickly too! Even the difference between movies like Shrek 1 and Shrek 2, Toy Story 1 and 2 are vast improvements (and a lot of fun to watch)!
Those 2D DreamWorks animated films always did be hitting some damn good different. I miss them
Death of 2D was a money saving decision sadly (kinda typical of Disney at this point to be fair).
I think Treasure Planet was the last true hoorah for 2D animated movies. Disney simply refused to market the movie like they did in the past. And when the movie flopped they said people are tired of 2D & that full CG is the future anyway.
I rewatch the old classics by myself or with kids from time to time. In my opinion, they barely aged - if at all. I feel as if the 2D perspective gives more room for one's own imagination.
Btw, another great video Stephanie. Keep up the good work. :)
I felt like the shows and movies that adopted 3d animation as a “special effect” have the right idea. Similarly to 90s films using cgi very sparingly allows the creators to highlight very specific scenes with an effect that simply wouldnt be possible witg traditional or practical effects. The problem occurs when the entire production turns to the new method and the magic of traditional 2d animation and expression is lost. Anime seems to be more willing to carry on the torch with shows like Demon Slayer that have excellent demonstrations of the marriage between 2 and 3d art.
Very true! Lots of 90s 2D movies like the Prince of Egypt use a good amount of 3D to do things that aren't possible with 2d, and gives some really amazing visuals/effects because of it. I haven't seen Demon Slayer yet but Attack on Titan also has some amazing blending of 2D and CGI; 2D and 3D go very well together!
@@StephanieKimPascaru Treasure planet is a good example of the mix too imo. It would have been a bit worse if the ships in space stay in 2d.
I love 2D animated movies too and agreed with many points made in this video, but I do think that audiences are far more receptive to CGI animated movies vs 2D ones. Because audiences perceive 2D films as old fashioned, they are less likely to watch them and and this results in poor box office returns (and I saw this as someone why like 2d animation).
Like you brought up a lot of box office data in this video and the 2d films did poorly every time in the last 20 years. You argued that this was due to poor stories or highly competitive release dates, but that doesn't explain everything because many CGI movies also had poor stories or competitive release dates but they still made significantly more money.
Case in point: Tangled. This video proposes that Tangled didn't have heavy competition at the box office, but that's not true. Tangled was released a mere *5 days* after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. By all accounts, it should have been MURDERED at the box office. But it wasn't because it told an amazing movie and because it was a CGI animated film. I can almost guarantee that if Tangled was animated in 2D, it would not have fared as well.
The fact is studios have good reasons not to make 2D animated films anymore. They don't make as much money and the sales data backs it up. It all comes back to audiences not being able to get over their preference for 3D animation. That being said, I think studios should have a vested interest in making 2D films that looks so amazing that they convince a skeptical audience to give them a chance. Like look at 2D anime movies, those do extremely well at the box office because studios go all out on animation, they are just as exiting as 3D animation. If they are smart, studios could totally change the perception of 2D films and make them profitable again.
That's true, lots of people still see 2D animation as old fashioned and that is the biggest reason why the movies didn't do well in theatres. But I agree that studios could bring back 2D animation if they wanted and make audiences receptive to it again! Klaus at least gives me hope that maybe more western studios will try 2D feature films again :)
I couldn't agree more! I've never seen those 2D tests for Frozen and Moana - I'd have LOVED to see these made in 2D!
I liked elemental, I liked the spiderverse. The Boy and the Heron was special to me, it felt as if Miyazaki was speaking to me saying, “Are you happy to be alive?” I was in that instance very happy to be alive. I love animation, and 3d has its place, I will always feel that 2d has an air of nostalgia, the stories take me back 20 years I’m in elementary school and shooting the breeze with friends about Kingdom Hearts.
Keep it coming
The most aesthetically pleasing films, I think, are those from around the turn of the millennium that seamlessly merged 2D and 3D animation. Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet are, by a huge margin, the best Disney films ever made, while some of Dreamwork's best films are Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, The Road to El Dorado, and Prince of Egypt.
I used to absolutely despise fully 3D-animated films throughout my youth, not only because traditional animation always looks far more appealing, but coincidentally they also tend to have superior scripts, soundtrack and voice acting, with very few exceptions. Before my late teens I simply refused to watch animated films that were not (primarily) 2D. It is only now in my adult years that I have come to see 3D as a genuine art form meant to compliment, albeit never replace, traditional 2D animation, to create something truly beautiful. I have even come to appreciate a handful of computer-animated films, such as the Kung Fu Panda trilogy. But 2D will always be superior in the end.
As much as I like 3D animation in general, but I DO miss 2D animation as well because I like to have a variety of different kinds of animation here and there rather than just CGI.
i totally agree with you, i will be very happy to see a return to traditional 2d animation and unfortunately the last two 2d movies winnie the pooh and the princess and the frog were flops and since disney is motivated by money (this is in a certain sense quite logical), it's no surprise that they favored 3D over 2D. It must be said that in animated films, 3D is a trend, and not just for Disney. With the majority of the public seeming to prefer 3D, Disney is just following the trend.
However all is not lost, I had understood that the new Disney leader was interested in a return of 2D animation, and for the Tiana series which will arrive in 2023 I still have a little hope that it will be the same 2D animation style as the movie.
I miss the old animation because the animation nowadays differs from the older animation.
But sadly, things don't stay the same.
Things change over time.
We need to start a movement or something. Because as an animator myself, I'm really sad about this. 😢
This is so wonderful to finally see someone who feels exactly like I do! I thought that I was the only one who felt like this! I mean sure, people miss 2d animation, but nobody (at least people I have met and discussed this particular topic) truly understands WHY it should be brought back, and you, Stephanie, completely said it exactly like I would have! You did an excellent job in flushing out your reasons, the practical reasons, why they should bring it back, and you did it in a way that it didn’t demean the other art, that being 3D. I am an animation student, so I know, and I have tried both, and I can tell you from experience, they are both hard. You just said it so perfectly and I have to applaud you for this Stephanie! Hopefully, if god wills it, maybe I just might be the one to bring it back, at least that is my dream as an animator.
Thank you so much!!! I believe we can bring 2D animation back into mainstream media, especially since so many people still have such a strong love for it! I'm rooting for you--good luck on your animation studies!❤❤
Treasure Planet is such an underrated movie 😢
Alice In Wonderland 1951 gave me one of the best movie experiences as a child. It felt, spooky, sweet, mysterious and very colorful, but more than anything it felt real as if what Alice was going through was also happening to me. An immersive unimaginable world only a child could dream of
Alice in Wonderland scared me as a child, but I also liked it! It's got a little bit of everything--whimsical, funny, scary, mysterious, and sweet like you mentioned! I especially love the scene where the flowers are singing! All the designs are so pretty and distinct, watching it really feels like a dream :)
@Stephanie The flowers is also one of my favorite scenes!
2d movies are more far and few but the ones I’ve seen have been absolutely amazing, like the rise of the tmnt movie
The art style is just amazing in it
Also Klaus, it's stunning!
I prefer 2d animation when it comes to stuff like Disney. Treasure Planet, and Aladdin hold a special place in my heart, and it hurts to see that Treasure Planet flopped due to Disney switching to CGI at the time. This was the director’s passion project. I honestly agree with most of this video, you my friend have my respect
Yes, I miss 2D. Your presentation was also excellent. You made your point in in sufficient detail, yet didn't ramble. Your background footage matched up well too.
your intros are something I never knew I needed...I want MOREEEEE
I love old 2D Animation movies because beautiful any backgrounds and characters. Yes, I miss 2D Animation movies.
2d has soul.
OMG Frozen in 2D looks soooooo appealing
2d is mostly done more beautiful
Side note: I love the sound of your voice. It's very soothing, yet all your words are very clear and enunciated properly. Fantastic video!
"Magic." That's the word.
I agree with the charm of the 2D animation being timeless. I see that 2d animation is thriving well in the eastern countries like in Japan with the likes of studio Ghibli films.
RUclips algorithm, do your thing.
First comment! Just watched your other vid. Congrats on going viral
I’m sick of 3D animation but I love 2D and 3D with 2D effects. Like event though arcane, and into the spiderverse are 3D they look amazing.
I hope 2D gets popular again here in the west. Hunchback of Notre dame and the prince of Egypt look so beautiful. Also you can almost always count on a 2D animated movie to be a good movie. Bad 2D movies are a rarity.
Like just look at studio ghibli, of all their 2d movies only 1 or 2 weren’t that great but even those two were received better than their only 3D movie which isn’t just bad in animation but story also.
Yeah, I was also bored with just 3d animated movies in the whole 2010s, now it's the 2020s and we are getting 2 soon to be 2D animated movies.
I'm old 🏫 school..2D. Artistic & Organic!!!
Great video, I really agree with all the things you said. I personally enjoy much more 2d movies than current 3d and not because of nostalgia which I feel like a lot of peoples choices will be based on nostalgia rather than the quality of the movies. Great video over all and loved the editing at the very beginning.
I'm a huge fan of 2D animation and I want it to return. 😢
Traditional 2D animation is the best visual story-telling medium and I can prove this with a slide rule.
Wow. I never knew that Princess and the Frog came out on the same day as Avatar. And I definitely never knew that Frozen and Moana were originally gonna be traditionally animated.
I agree with you. I think CG is going to look dated and 2D is going to look timeless. I'm waiting patiently for that day.
I agree with everything you said!!! also the video clips match so well with your audio I love it
I miss the 2D Animation movies. 😥 Good thing we have Anime. 😊
i like how u said "anymore" in the i dont want to play with you anymore scene
There's something human and textured I can conmect to in 2D animation that I can't in 3D and there's something about its imperfect fluidity that I could just stare at for hours like a piece of art whereas 3D, while gorgeous and impressive and realistic, at times feels too smooth, too polished.
I want to bring 2d animation movies back from my studio.
The most recent animated movies I remember seeing in the past couple years are Wolfwalkers, and Klaus. But her really well done movies. And both of them have amazing animation. I just wish they would start going back to the 2-D style. I wish studios like Disney, and DreamWorks would go back two to the animation and of course I still want to see 3-D animated films but I really want to see more people learning to do the hand drawn animation I feel like it’s starting to be forgotten by a lot of artists.
Based and true. The transition from the hand-drawn to the CGI horse at 8:27 jump-scared me. There is no doubt in my mind that the former is the superior artform, and it's hard to pin down why, but I feel that you did a good job in this video.
I just like the 2D Dreamworks artstyle, wish we had more of it.
Back then I only grew up with DreamWorks 3D animated movies and didn't know they made 2D before and when I saw movies like The Prince Of Egypt it was amazing
Let's trend the hashtag on Twitter with pretty please ❤
7:35 oh man, that gives me such Lilo and Stitch vibes, much more than the end-product.
Why is there just this random RUclipsr with only two high quality videos? Underrated.
I'm surprised you never mentioned Klaus, it was a feature length film in 2019. It just wasn't in the box office because Netflix bought exclusive rights I believe. Excellent movie though.
I guess there has been enough content, shows and movies that I haven't really worried about not have 2d or 3d animation. If there isn't a new show right now there will be one eventually this year. And hey there is *always* anime, which is almost a whole other thing, but it still counts right? I count it.
Klaus is great! I showed some clips of it briefly at 0:49, and I did mention anime (or at least Your Name) at 0:59, but for the rest of the video I was mostly focusing on how western studios have dropped 2D animation. But yeah anime definitely counts and is thankfully still in 2D!! 😁
please keep these videos coming! your relaxing voice combined with the informative topics you cover make for great entertainment^^
Heavy on how 2D ages better than 3D. Mega mind is an amazing movie but the animation started looking dated 5 years after it’s release. Disney and Pixar’s movies have a longer shelf life but it’s very strange to rewatch a movie like tangled or Toy Story 3 and start to notice the animation aging slightly. Especially with Toy Story 3 since we now have Toy Story 4 to compare it to and I’m sure once Toy Story 5 comes out we’ll see the cracks in Toy Story 4. Vs something like Snow White which was made 80 years ago and still holds up. Sure it looks a little dated but that’s mostly due to the art style and the way the backgrounds are painted and other things that have nothing to do with the animation. When comparing something like Cinderella vs the little mermaid two movies that came out decades apart from each other they don’t look that different from eachother quality wise. 2D animation ages like fine wine while 3D ages like milk. I rest my case.
It would be wonderful to see 2D animation theatrical films making a comeback. It’s really underrated. Unfortunately these days it seems to work only for tv cartoons or game apps adverts but I still think it’s just as important as CGI. At least there’s Studio Ghibli, Netflix and indie animators out there on RUclips keeping traditional animation alive…
I know this a bit unrelated but I also miss hand painted cel animation in anime. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the way modern anime looks. But hand painted cells and backgrounds have a certain look/ grit to them that I want to see again.
I love hand painted cels too! Sometimes I watch movies/shows just because of how pretty they look, lol. I don't know if 90s animes like Sailor Moon, Slam Dunk, Cowboy Bebop, etc. are hand painted but I love their colouring/shading, they have that grit to them like you mentioned :)
@@StephanieKimPascaru most anime pre early 2000s was hand painted cells. All the shows you listed are examples of that. There’s a great scene in the last Episode of the 1995 anime Golden Boy where they talk about the process of animation back in the 90s. I’d recommend the series if you haven’t seen it
Fantastic vid. Also made me realize why Ghibli will forever remain as a pillar for 2d animation
I just binged all your videos..keep it up. loving it so far
I am glad there are people in the same page as me, you can still find 2D animation just not in this country, Japan has always been the center of all animation. Here are some great Anime movies to get you started. Sword of the Stranger, Summer Wars, Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo, Metropolis (2001), Paprika (2006),
Castle in the Sky, Tekkonkinkreet, Drifting Home (2022), The Boy and the Beast...
That's is why I want to animate like those who did in those days and try to visual the setting and character as well the story. To be honest all i remember was that 2d is my childhood memory when watching even though there some i did not see, but the 2d animation i watch were dreamwork and disney 2d movie
My thoughts exactly. Pretty pretty pleaseee.
Thank you so much for captions
Just watched your vid on Marvel CGI, checked the channel and just 2 uploads. Upload more often, you're good at this.
I do animate both 3D and 2D (digitalized traditional) animation and I find them having their own ups and downs but I don't find them being more or less difficult than one another other in generally. I don't like to compare these two techniques as well as other ones such as stop motion at all since I found them very different in technical style. I found both of them being equally very time consuming in different ways: despite of you can save still frames on 2D animation without looking awkward while you can reuse 3D models in CGI, it still takes forever to draw few seconds of 2D animations in traditional animation while takes forever to render few seconds of 3D animation in CGI. I do mostly 2D in ClipArt Studio Paint right now due to my current home computers are quiet too old as well as I had practice it by myself when I was 15 while I had recently learned 3D at my gymnasium for computer graphics. It's more easier to make the CGI to fall awkwardly flat into uncanny valley than awkward off model 2D for me, especially when you need them to move almost all the time or else they suddenly looks like stiff soulless plastic. Comparing CGI with traditional is like comparing practical effects with CGI: you don't get the same believable feeling since practical uses real physics while CGI uses invisible simulation only seen by the audience. I remember when I was younger I didn't even consider them as the same medium and all I found in common between these main animation techniques is they aren't made in real time but artificial frames which is just basically the animation part. I found the comparison similar between a painting and a photograph, both are still basically images. You can also animate living people with still images like a stop motion and puppetry if filmed in real time is just live action so film techniques don't have any attached art styles or genre really. Cartoon is a very misleading unprofessional term for animation in general, which means most live action movies we see today technically consists of cartoons due to CGI such as the background. I think the common usage for the term cartoon to animation and comics is because the history of animation and comics where they started out as mostly cartoons and caricatures while most still are to this day.
Although I usually prefer 3D animated films, 2D animated films are amazing (if done properly). Take the DreamWorks 2D animated films for instance. The animation is done insanely well, and the hard work pays off. Now that 3D has pretty much taken over, it's a bit sad that we haven't seen a 2D animated film on the big screen in a long time
It was wasted time we have any 2d tutorial animation over years I want it to return
We don’t need live-action remakes of 2D films. We need 2D remakes of CGI films.
If you're looking for cool 2D movies, there's the Rise of the TMNT movie on Netflix (along with the show it happens after, though you don't need the context to enjoy it), and Wolfwalkers on apple TV! These are some of my favorite movies and they're both fairly recent, though they didn't have theatrical releases. Love what you're saying here, classic 2D combined with modern digital techniques is absolutely PHENOMENAL.
Made one good video then dipped for 4 months hope ya keep them coming doe seriously 🔥🔥
As a 2d animator. Amen sister
Yea I love 2D animation my favorite kind of 2D animation was in Tarzan it was so beautiful like the Jungle and even the animation in the film and the character designs makes me wish they made an actual sequel to that film one where it's about Jane being pregnant and Tarzan wondering what kind of father he would be to give more development to Tarzan's character.
I love the animation in Tarzan too! The movement through the trees/vines were so cool (I think it was a blend of 2D and 3D, but still really cool anyway!) I also wish they had done a better sequel for Tarzan, I feel like Tarzan 2 and Tarzan & Jane were underwhelming
Tarzan 2 was not a sequel it was an in betweenquel and Tarzan & Jane was fun it's just most of this stuff was from the tv show which for some stupid reason is not on Disney+ if they made a live action remake to that film it would be awesome especially seeing Tarzan doing all the tree surfing and vine swinging in live action I can totally picture Jason Momoa as Tarzan and Daisy Ridley as Jane Porter.@@StephanieKimPascaru
@@andrewcabral963 I agree that a live-action film would be great! But after the last few remakes Disney has done I'm not sure if it would executed properly anymore😭
If in the right hands it could be and if they drop all of their stupid political crap and just make a good remake like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin it would be so great.@@StephanieKimPascaru
What a beautiful video, really loved it, miss 2D animation so much!
This was such a good video
It felt like the 2d animation was interesting then for a younger audience for example Ariel or Winnie the Pooh . But i wish there is more of 2d animation like spirit or Tarzan, Treasure planet etc.
2d animated film is always and forever be magical in our hearts.
I think 2D animated feature length film would actually be a breath of fresh air if done well. Especially in a media landscape so oversaturated with 3D and CGI
This is one of the reasons I watch certain anime
I think the medium also colors the story, 3d animation is associated with a particular kind of film. I think 2d is the best option for period pieces, probably because it makes people feel as though the movie itself is antiquated.
Both are needed! Beautiful video!
Damsel, you make great videos, you have a promising future.
You should tell Disney and the other companies that speech of yours. Of course they should bring the traditional animation back.
Great video ! Can’t wait for more :)
Totally agree
Subscribed, clicked the bell, waiting for more
Thank you
Definitely prefer 2D for pretty much all the reasons you stated. I wonder if AI could help mitigate some of the drawbacks of backtracking 2D has to face when dealing with corrections in scenes.
We don’t need AI we need real art made by humans
@@tailsprowerfan2729 I agree. I don't want art made by AI wholesale. But I think AI has the potential to be a good tool for real 2D animators to be able to make 2D animated films in a more cost-effective way. Then, maybe the calculation would change on 3D being the preferred method of animation for studios.
Yeah, I have always prefer 2D animation. Maybe just because I draw comic books old traditional way, and my biggest influences comes from 2D Animated movies and TV shows.
+AnthroMike Wow, are you gonna turn your comic to a animated show?
@@Kawayoporu That would be awesome. But I kind a wanted to finish my story before it turn in to the show.
