Disney, WE WANT 2D animation!

I just watched Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and thought of the last most outstanding Disney movie that was actually not one of those 3D desasters. "The Princess & The Frog" (2009) was just okay... and "Brother Bear" (2002) just another try to keep 2D animation alive. The last really good 2D Disney was "Tarzan" (1999) in my opinion. Back then, you could really feel the emotions through the drawn characters, the magic of the storytelling and the songs that delivered a message to the interested audience. I'm so fed up with all those modern 3D-movies without soul, I want the purely hand-drawn 2D animation back! Not that I hate CGI-animation, but I guess that almost 80% of the current productions are created without soul and heart.

I'm so sad that Disney decided to cancel their plans for "The Snow Queen" (draft above), just because the "Cinderella" resemblance was too big. I don't get it, but I seriously don't have to. There are things in this world I just don't have to understand, otherwise it would drive me nuts. But still, I don't get it... Why did they come up with an idea they wouldn't implement anyway?

Same goes with Terry Pratchett's "Mort", "The Grim Reaper". Ron Clements & John Musker wanted to do this so bad, but Disney couldn't afford to secure the rights of the "prototype". Another thing I don't get If they really wanted it to happen...

Still, hope dies last, so we should wait and see. Maybe Disney will find its way back to the magic of 2D animation (after this year's "Winnie The Pooh", which I honestly don't want to watch - just not my cup of tea and a bit too childish for my taste). Till then, we HAVE to rely on 3D animations to get better and wait for magical 2D animations to return... and watch classical disney movies from a different time on DVD & Blu-Ray. Oh, I forgot the cinema revivals *sigh*...

Agree, disagree? Discuss!
