[quote="Julie Skywalker"][quote="SimbasGuard"][quote="Elton John"]One thing i noticed right away that i really love is that it has this very classic disney look to it. If this isn't hand drawn, it does a great job of replicating the hand drawn look.[/quote]
I'd be shocked if this turns out to be computer animated. If it is then it proves that 2D can still live in a world of 3D animation.[/quote]
Why wouldn't it be computer animated? Even I have a Photoshop brush that replicates the 2D pencil from Disney movies, used in conjunction with a drawing tablet, it looks just like hand drawn traditional work.
Which is why hand drawn is an inaccurate term here because since acquiring a graphics tablet, all of my digital art has been hand drawn, as if on paper.[/quote]
Photoshop is still 2D. It's computerized, yes, but it only works on two dimensions, not three. I think what SimbasGuard was referring to wasn't whether or not it was "hand-drawn" but whether or not it was 2D or 3D. Most modern films are done in programs similar to Maya, ZBrush, or Blender, all of which are very different from either traditional drawing media or from programs like Photoshop. They are more akin to traditional sculpture or claymation, which is why modern animated films have such a different look than their predecessors.
I'm sure you knew at least some of that but I think that's what he was trying to say. That said, I'm sure this is computerized for at least most of the process (if not all of it), as most animated TV shows are now, but that doesn't mean it's not 2D animation.
