Walt Disney Animation might have gotten its start in the world of 2D animation, but for more than a decade now, it's transitioned almost exclusively to 3D animation. It’s a move that made sense at the time, given that the Mouse House has always been at the cornerstone of animation. But as of late, fans have started to feel fatigued at the lack of diversity amongst the style.
As an avid animation and Disney fan, I would definitely love to see the studio return to its roots. There’s just something so magical about those early art styles that seems to be lacking in recent movies. Unfortunately, the studio laid off almost all of the hand-drawn artist department back in 2013. While it seems like fans are going to have to wait a while before we get another fully 2D-animated Disney movie, we shouldn’t give up all hope.
