And yet that's exactly the kind of look they're trying to get closer too!

I think that Disney just releases their recent 2D films at really bad times to create the illusion that there's no interest in them.

Still just awesome like that

That's a really bad business move, I'd say, intentionally trying to lose money, essentially. I don't see what the point in doing so would be.

So, Wreck It Ralph was the borderline Disney princess movie about a He-she in video game land who wanted to become something more and Vanellope is that shemale's life partner?

Of the 53 films in their canon line-up, only 11 were about a princess or featured a princess in a major role. For the first 2/3 of their line-up, only 3 were princess films! Of those 11, the last 3 were all released in the past 5 years!! I call that over-saturation as of late!
Can't wait to see how they "cleverly" screw over THIS latest attempt to bring back the LOOK of hand-drawn animation.

You really need to calm down. Exclamation points and all-caps do not help you get your point across better.
Darling.
Well, this should be a fun thread for the next... five years. 
actually i am dead wow
@43: kyun : Wow! I did not know that! I actually thought it was rotoscoping on 3D models when I first saw Paperman.
Still just awesome like that
@Shota: Okay, and how many of the rest of them are fairy tale movies?
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
Out of the 53 films, 10 or 11, if you think the Atlantis civilization in Atlantis is more fairy tale than historical.
The movie is NOT going to be in the style of Paperman. John Musker
said it's too early to apply the technique in a full-lenght film.

I was expecting this, for that very reason. Kudos to them for not wanting to rush it.

Really? Explain why all these press releases are saying that then.
They aren't. It was all speculation.
Eclipse the Moon
They are using a similar technique to Paperman. But not the same one, as the one used in Paperman is way too complex for a full length feature..

This movie will be released in around 2018 or something. Plenty of time for them to use the same method.

I'm not sure you really can judge that, since you (assumedly) don't have experience animating in the method and style they used for that. Perhaps the technology just isn't there yet. Either way, if they say it can't work, it can't work.

Well, we can't change what they say the animation will be, I guess. And no, I just use traditional hand-drawing.

Indeed.
However it turns out, again, hopefully this doesn't wind up the same way Kingdom of the Sun wound up. Much as I love The Emperors New Groove, it was a shame to see all that cultural research and authenticity go to waste.

But it still made a pretty damn funny movie.

Oh, I love The Emperors New Groove, don't get me wrong. I just have an entirely new perspective on it after learning its production history and watching The Sweatbox (which I'm now convinced should be a documentary required for film and animation majors to watch).

Eclipse the Moon
Where did you find it?
I watch half of it. Power shorted out and the next time I went to find it online it went missing.

I watched it when it was still up on You Tube, but I know Vimeo still has an upload available if you want to see it.

3. The assumption that the general audience doesn't want to see 2D animated films anymore.
