Well yea because those movies would probably fail if they came out today. When's the last time you saw an animation without a lot of CGI in it? Singing is out, CGI is in. Bear in mind the market for these films are kids, not 20-something year olds who have nostalgic memories of the past.

well occrider, I think it's pretty safe to say you just ended this thread.

Disney is about to buy Pixar.

quote:
Pixar President Ed Catmull will become head of Walt Disney Animation when the acquisition closes in late April or early May. Lasseter will be the creative head of Disney animation and a creative consultant to the theme parks.

Pixar CEO Steve Jobs, who will take a seat on Disney's board and become the company's largest shareholder, was not at Friday's meeting.

Well maybe they'll start making good movies again then, although cars looks shitty. I think Disney has the writing talent whereas Pixar has the CGI talent.

I'd say the market is both kids and adults. Most adults today do have nostalgic memories of old cartoons, video games, action figures, and other things associated with kid-play. WE may have grown out of them for the most part, but I for one am no objector to seeing a good cartoon movie as a legitimate choice for leisure.

Most anywhere you look in pop culture now-a-days you can find some sort of remnant to reflect this nostalgia. Now that these generations are growing older, they are finding themselves in the positions that create the same things they enjoyed when they were young. What you're left with is a cartoon created by someone who enjoyed cartoons as a kid (something people like Walt Disney lacked, at least in the modern sense).

If you watch any of the new cartoons out today, it won't take you long to notice it. They are made for kids but you'll find things in them that you enjoy as well even if the kids don't "get it." I can watch them with my nephews and its not unusual for them to ask me "why are you laughing?" as if they missed something, and they did because it wasn't meant for them it was meant or me.

Increasingly, (adult) movies and television contain video-game like plots. Beat the smaller bosses to get to the big boss for the big finish. There are even cartoons made specifically for adults like The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, and pretty much anything on Adult Swim. You want a first person action shoot-em-up, helloooo, 24 anyone?

Admittedly, the term adult is used loosely or rather based on age. In the sense I have been using it would include the general COR population, of which not many would fit if you based it on lets say, oh, maturity. However, right now adult is usually referring to people anywhere 18+, the most marketable demographic being 18-30 year old males. None of which have shown any signs of completely growing out of this or any signs that they plan on doing so anytime soon.


I'm not saying that adults aren't a part of the fan base at all. Clearly if you watch monsters inc or any such modern animation film there are jokes directed towards adults. What I'm saying is that old school disney animation (aladdin, lion's king, etc.) just aren't in sytle anymore with the primary focus audience ... kids. And probably not with the secondary focus audience either because adults probably expect a lot more from an animation film in 2006. To be honest Lion King was great, and Aladdin was great. But if I saw either of those films in the theater after seeing Monsters Inc. I would probably say, "wtf is this shit and why did I spend $9 to see it in a theater?" Any blockbuster animation film now needs a CGI powerhouse to back them up. Which is why we haven't seen anything superb from Disney recently.
