CG-only at Disney?

29 Aug 2003 @ 9:40 AM

According to Philadelphia Inquirer, Disney is planning to kill off their traditional animation and transition to a CG-only shop. Some folks are decrying this as the end of an entire artform. Michael Eisner has declared that 2-d is dead, so that’s a pretty good indication of the direction Disney will take.

Considering that the only big money-makers for the house of mouse in the past decade have been from Pixar (all computer-generated), it’s understandable that Disney sees the winds changing. Of course, the fact that the studio lost around a hundred million bucks on Treasure Planet may have been the final nail in the traditional 2-D coffin.
