@nave712 I love CG as much as the next person, but why do so many people insist on using it?? Doesn't anyone miss the glory days of animation, where the main tool was just a pencil and some paint? sigh...

@tokyogirl345 No, that's not it at all. 3D computer animation is closer to stopmotion puppetry and it's doesn't differ much from regular animation as an art form. The problem is that "special effects" aren't so special anymore and can be done cheaply. Back then if a big-budget special effects film like this were to be made, they'd have to make damn sure that it was done right in order to justify the cost.

@AwesomeEm101 I miss the glory days of animation too. :( The company I work for wanted me to bring in 2D Animation to the market, but they wanted to use AAAAAAAALOT of shortcuts to where the animation itself is horrible. It is extremely painful to do cheap animation and not be able to use your imagination and skills at full capacity..*tears*

cg sucks

[uryuu300]

Screw computer graphics. This is real art, and to me, the computer does most of the work, not human hands. This is what animation should really be like. Don't get me wrong I like CGI, but it's nothing compared to what we all had back in those days. They actually put a lot of effort into this masterpiece, while in movies these days (Which pretty much suck) they all have to rely on time. I hate it that when I grow up 3 years later I won't be seeing beautiful movies like this anymore :(

@nave712 I think Wikipedia might say that the director changed its mind. Look it up on Wikipedia under the Roger Rabbit sequel on the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" page on Wikipedia.

@Unimaginativ Yes the computer does make the work faster, but all it seems to be is just typing in codes and flicking your wrist while using a mouse. Not that I assume that's all it is, I know animation in both forms (3D and 2D) take their own length in time. However, I feel the only reason people use the computer is for time. I find this completely disgusting because it seems everything nowadays has to be instant. I find respect in more lengthy projects because it means they focused on detail.

@AwesomeEm101 Time and expense.
