    Disney has such a huge back catalogue of IP that they can use to make all sorts of crazy shit, and Lord knows they have the budget for it. Instead we get inferior versions of their classic cartoons for some reason. Somebody should tell their board of directors that playing it safe in a creative field is a losing proposition.

      I have long speculated it’s a way to keep copyright control of IP that may be entering the public domain, and people who enjoyed the original are more likely to watch the remake.

        Snow White was written in the early 19th century, it was already public domain when Disney made their original movie. I suppose extending the copyright will keep people from naming their dwarves sleepy and dopey but they can make as many snow whites as they want.

      What in the world makes you think Disney is in a creative field? They are solely in a money-making field.

    Animation is when for kids. No serious art is made with drawings. We use a computer to add drawings after recording, but it’s still serious. Sometimes we just make the whole thing in a computer but it is still serious because it looks realistic. All real art is realistic, which is when it looks real. Otherwise it’s for kids.
