I’m excited about this film and hats off to John Kahrs and everyone else at Disney who is pushing CG animation in a new direction (combining CG with a hand-drawn look) but I guess what I’m still sort of scratching my head about is : if Disney really wants to retain the look and appeal of hand-drawn animation , then why not just DO Hand-Drawn Animation ? Am I missing something ? Seems to me what has hurt the advancement of hand-drawn animation lately is not the technique , but the the subject matter .
