The worst part is, Disney's not entirely to blame. Oh, and Toy Story 3 is gonna be the best movie for a while.

Some of their films are ok, and some are downright bad. It seems they like to copy Pixar a bit too (Antz = Bugs Life, Sharks Tale = Finding Nemo etc.). I enjoyed Kung Fu Panda though. Don't even get me started on Shrek, the first movie was alright but it's been completely downhill since. What I tend to enjoy most about Pixar are the completely off-the-wall new IPs. Take "Up" for example, it's Pixar's latest feature film and the concept is crazy! But the execution is perfect, as to be expected of Pixar. But it seems Pixar (whether it be from themselves, or being forced by Disney) are going down the sequel road. I don't have any qualms about sequels when they are done well - who doesn't want to see loved characters return to the silver screen? But I prefer new films where the creative team of Pixar can really shine, where they aren't constrained by previous circumstances. That being said, I'm probably going to enjoy Toy Story 3 a lot. A lot more then I really should, considering my age... @PinkSombrero: You’re talking about this hilarious picture.

But, as some have mentioned before, Pixar is a pretty nice studio, I enjoy their movies every now and again. But recently I was tempted to go check out Dreamworks because of the fact they bought the rights to Xombie (series on Newgrounds) and plan to make a movie for 2011...

Whereas back in the day there was a lot more variation. I guess the main thing is that nowadays disney animations are very flat colored. Whereas back in the day there was a lot more variation.

Too bad they didn't imitate the classic animation technique like Brad and I were hoping for. The Princess and the Frog's animation is leaps and bounds ahead of Enchanted, but it still seems to miss the mark . . . Yeah they were parodying a lot of the Disney classics.

I actually cant think of anything theyve done bad. Even their recent films and shorts are great, like "Partly Cloudy". But Disney is just a monster. Its like.... erm, they showed us this video at school where its talking about the environment and stuff. And the corporations are like this big fat man, and hes ugly and stuff, and thats basically Disney. Stuff like, as you put it, "Tween Sensations" are simply shameful and not only are they defacing Disney, but also the music scene. Its hard to go anywhere and not hear Party in the USA playing on the radio. Or some other song by an artist just as bad. On the other hand, disney does seen to be doing better than Dreamwork, as they continue to spew out content. Theres a picture somewhere on the rotfl lmao topic in the forum with "the difference between pixar and dreamworks". It really says it all. Great post by the way :D PS. I love the difference between Enchanted and Sleeping Beauty at the end... and curiously enough, it seems as if in enchanted theyre making fun of sleeping beaty. Pixar always does great stuff.

They are beating themselves to death by making sequel after sequel and the whole tween sensation thing just makes me shudder.

Part of the reason Disney went the CGI route is the acquisition of Pixar and I generally love Pixar films so I have nothing against their films. But still, you almost never see old-skool animation anymore. It's almost depressing. I'm sure anyone who grew up in the 90s saw a Disney animation, and subsequently loved it. It's sad that Walt Disney seemingly has no proper successor. I’d have to agree that there seems to be a significant drop in 2D animation films nowadays.
