I could be wrong, but isn't Disney's new Susan Sarandon musical, "Enchanted" going to have segments with traditional 2D animaion? I mean sure it's not a full feature film - but at least it's a big budget movie that will feature SOME 2D. I really think that this CGI only thing will pass and Disney will end up making both CGI and traditionally animated films again. "Enchanted" might be their way of branching out/backwards to hand drawn animation. Hooray.

To quote two familiar-looking bystanders in "The Incredibles", there's no school like the Old School... :)

Just off the subject, Jim, with the new Cars-is-neat push we've been getting, are we ever going to get an article comparing in detail the plot's eerie parallels to certain early-90's Michael J. Fox comedies?:

I may have to rent it again--It's getting starting to get spooky.

(Oh, and smokey?--Please: In the name of HUMANITY, will you forget about the "Enchanted will rescue the industry!" thing in every single solitary post?
It's just going to be a piddling little spring-vacation chik-flik "Princess Diaries" video-fodder, and if this's trying to be that cutesy nagging-Jim thing gag again, that went out with Star Tours...Wake up and smell the Blockbuster rentals.)

I've mentioned Enchanted twice. And for that matter, I'll mention it as many times as I please. If you don't like it, don't read my comments - besides, this is not a forum or a message board, it's simply feedback on the articles. Let's leave it at that. I plan on continuing posting what I find relevant to the article. Enchanted was relevant.

DerekJ:

You can say that the plot parallels a lot of movies, including a certain Wesley Snipes/Patrick Swayze/John Leguizamo movie with a very different kind of drag racing:

This isn't the first time a Pixar flick has shared plot with a dozen previous films. A Bug's Life had roots in Seven Samurai, Magnificent Seven, Three Amigos, and etc., after all.

On a side note, is there any significance to Fillmore's plate number, 51237? It's the zip code for an area in the northwest area of Iowa. Is that it? Or is it something else?

Smokey, you mention "Enchanted" as much as you want. I hereby give you permission. ;) The more I hear about this project, the more excited I get. From what I hear this movie could bring back 2D big time. Much as I love good CGI, I think the novelty has definitely worn off - and not just for me. Look at the domestic boxoffice take for "Ice Age 2" - not bad, but not at all what was expected. And when I rented "Lilo and Stitch" the other day and took a second look at it - man the film is freaking beautiful. I enjoyed it immensely, and part of it was because it was rendered in impeccable, lush, expertly crafted 2-D animation. I'm positive the public is hungry for 2D again. And "Enchanted" just might hit the spot. I'm hopeful anyway...

Is it just me, or does it look like is says "Save 3D" instead of "Save 2D"
