3D animation… It’s the go to process for games and movies… (Anyone seen the Rescue Rangers trailer where Chip is supposed to be 2D… ugh…) I’m starting to think people (especially in the movie/game industry) have forgotten what true 2D animation can achieve and has achieved. It might be labour intensive, but the suggestion of life can’t really be simulated. A while back I talked with a dutch Donald Duck comic artist, and I asked him if he did his inking digitally or by hand. He told me he did it by hand, because that way, he couldn’t redo it and the tiny faults made it human. I think that, and the lack of ultra high detail, enhances the humanity. Just look at Ghibli films, they’re often more human than human. In short, (to mr. Tiller), please don’t even suggest that a CMI remake should be done in 3D… The cartoon animation style and wonderful 2D backdrops give it it’s own look and make it a truly wonderful and unique experience.
