The studio's animated film arm is also offering an eight-week intern program specifically in 2D animation this summer. That film was produced by animators working with computers who were drawing rather than modelling images. One US blogger covering the news of hand-drawn animation's demise has pointed to rumours that Disney is planning a feature using similar techniques to the Oscar-winning short film Paperman. It may not all be hard lines for the style that made the studio famous, however. I have to pull fingers out of this until it stops spasms.
Instead it clenches with thumb drawn towards palm and last two digits pulled toward center as well with all fingers extended. Meanwhile, Disney CGI efforts such as 2009's Bolt and 2010's Tangled grossed $310m and $590m respectively. In fact, when low on calcium, my hand does not clench into a fist. Another hand-drawn animation – 2011's Winnie the Pooh – drew praise from critics but pulled in just $33m across the globe. The traditional musical, based on the Brothers Grimm story the Frog Prince but relocating the action to 1920s New Orleans, was well-reviewed but failed to mirror the astounding success of Pixar at the box office with a middling return of $267m (£178m). The studio subsequently put the hand-drawn animation The Princess and the Frog into production. The day I stepped in we got in touch with these guys and set about bringing back the artists that Disney had laid off." "The general consensus was that audiences did not want to watch hand-drawn animated films, which is of course completely ridiculous. "Unfortunately 2D became the excuse for poor storytelling," said Lasseter, who pioneered the CGI animation revolution with Toy Story in 1995. Lasseter told a London audience for a 2009 screening of Bolt (a CGI animation) that he had re-hired many of the animators who were ditched by the previous regime because of the emergence of computer-generated technology in the 1990s.
The news will upset fans of traditional hand-drawn animation, who had been cheered by the revival of the form under John Lasseter, the Pixar boss who also became Disney Animation's chief creative officer in 2006. We're not necessarily ruling out the possibility a feature but there isn't any in development at the company at the moment." "There is a fair amount of activity going on in hand-drawn animation but it's largely for television at this point. "To my knowledge we're not developing a 2D or hand-drawn feature animated film right now," said Iger.
