How long is it gonna be until Disney tries another stab at a 2D animated movie, maybe not right now because of Covid and all but I could seriously see a huge interest in Disney doing another one, You'd get a lot of adults along with kids too, because people love to be nostalgic about things and the 2D animated movies were a big part of looooooots of people's child hoods
They're not. I'm sure they'll eventually take a stab at it because someone has a passion… but it'll probably be 3D run through a 2D filter like Paperman was. CG is just faster and cheaper and easier to keep everything on model while getting crazier colors.
They'd basically have to fund and set up a whole new studio to bring back a 2D department at this point, and there's very little fully trained 2D talent anymore.
Yeah there's a lot of 2D tv animation but that's a whole different thing.
We still have foreign studios regularly doing 2D and none of that is striking big despite the quality. If Ghibli films and Hosoda and SHinkai and Carton Saloon and Laika (with stop motion) aren't making waves, then no Disney film is going to make that mark either.
