What A Shame
I never knew how much Disney movies of today sucked until I went back and watched some the original movies we all grew up watching. I don’t appreciate the whole Disney/Pixar relationship at all. I think Pixar should branch out on their own and just focus on making the sweet little theatrical shorts that they show in cinemas before their main feature.
These days, the “cartoon” movies are always computer generated crap. And all the studios are so busy trying to make theirs more and more realistic looking! Soundtracks are just really pathetic, all covers of regular songs sung by lame people. Also, what the hell is with all the cultural references of today?! “It’s not only enjoyable for children, but for adults too! Yay!” WTF! Forget about watching a nice fairytale some time soon. Everything needs to funny now. Everything needs to funny AND American.
I want to see incredible hand-drawn art that took ages to draw frame by frame. I want to listen to beautiful music and songs composed by great musicians with the help of giant studio orchestras. I want a good story without any interruptions or sidetracking in the plot line. I want dramatic tear-jerking moments, damn it!
I always have hope that things would go back the way it used to be because Mulan was great in 1998. But I always remind myself that Toy Story had even greater success in 1995, and then came the rest of the computer animated films. Each more successful than the other.
Honestly, the only modern film I really liked was Finding Nemo, because Ellen Degeneres was as great as Robin Williams was in Aladdin (even though 99% of his performance was made up of cultural references of that time).
I finally know why they won’t make movies like they used to before. I looked at all the voice actors, producers, writers, directors, and animation teams of many of the movies. Most have one thing in common: they’re dead.
And on that sad note, I’ll leave you with a beautiful song that was specifically written for Lady and the Tramp (1955). The first half is sung by the character “Tony.”

I guess they have to go with technology and considering its alot easier
And takes less time to finish, so you cant exactly blame them ….
You can always by the classics and re-watch them.
Though I saw the trailer of the latest Disney production looks promising.
We’ll wait and see. ;p

Blue Dress, actually it takes a lot longer.. takes about 3 years to complete an animated feature film.. while it almost takes half of that for a traditionally animated feature film..

Laialy, there are a lot of us crying

[...] amazing. I love Pixar shorts and I wish they would do more on a regular basis. A while ago I was complaining about the animated movies that we see today and how they are inferior to the Disney movies of the [...]
