And it's still a better gimmick than that 3-D crap

@doddsino by the way i dont understand what you meant by "What was done 15 years ago??" are you taking about Winsor's work or traditional 2-d animation??
-
@doddsino please -_- i respect winsor mccay and his amazing contributions to animation, his skills revolutionized animation but it doesnt demean current standards today, it takes just as much skill talent and hard work as it did back then while it is true we no longer animate using cells, you cannot deny the beauty of 3-d animation, and its no easy task u try modeling in 3-d you will start to cry once you open the program!!!! i prefer traditional as well but plz show repect for today's animation

This is amazing! where did you find this? Winsor McCay is one of the best artists that's ever lived.

I don't think this posted right, but this was a reply to doddsino.
I'm also a 2D animator. I'm not sure if you're suggesting that computers are doing the animation (which it may for some studios), but well done animation is created by the animator and not the computer. A lot of "true" talent is still needed even with the technology we have today. If you don't have the talent behind the computer, you won't get the quality animation you're looking for. If you're saying that you prefer the 2D look of animation, then that's fine, because I prefer it as well.

I'm not. It gives me a headache. And looks too conspicuously used.
When I look at Gertie, I don't think of the creators saying "gee whiz, this is gonna wow 'em, we don't need to do anything else. This ALONE will bowl over the audience" Notice too that it is not done at an absurdly unrealistic speed (such as in any of the Spiderman movies). Again, because no one was TRYING to impress.
