Just a general wondering to see if more people share thing feeling... 
.
When I look at the new movies Disney is releasing there are more and more coming up that are made by Disney and Pixar together. They are mostly 3D styled toons.
Bugs Life, Toy Story, The Incredibles and so on. I think it's a wonderfull technique, but it doesn't give me the 'disney magic' feeling that much?
When Lilo and Stich came out I was very excited, even though it has some cool 3D effects it's still a very Disney type of cartoon. I love the older ones like the lion king, beauty and the beast, the hunchback of notre dame, etc. Yes, those have some computer effects aswell but it still was a lot of drawing aswell.
I like the way the films were drawn, I liked to see how they were drawn by these very talented people who spend years and years to learn how to draw this way and spend endless working hours on a single film. Yes, I know we are becoming more digitalized every day but can't cartoons just stay cartoons?
I allways found that was the charm of the disney films.
Don't get me wrong, I like movies like Shrek aswell that are very much digitalized; I just can't seem to get adjusted to the new digital disney

I don't mind these types of digitally animated movies, but I really do have to be in a particular frame of mind to watch them. Same goes for the older style cartoon movies as well. The interesting thing is that Disney re-release the "classics" every 7 or 8 years to recapture new up and coming age groups; and they always proclaim to have remastered and improved on the one before. I wonder how many times an original can be improved then before they stop saying that? 
The movies that amaze me are the Final Fantasy type animated movies. The way they are going, a time will come when they don't even use actors anymore!

That's true, it's all going so fast these days. I've heard that there is even a digital girlfriend out now in Japan that looks pretty lifelike. To bad you can't touch or hold her, but it might be the next best thing when you have no one? Who can tell..
Disney does bring older movies back out on the market again and again and the thing is: they keep selling! I guess these really are the disney 'classics'.
The only way of improving them is to digitally remaster them and brighten up the colours etc., but that comes along with new media types like DVD, etc. Personally I don't see it as a huge improvement, merely a way to remaster old beauty.
