Yeah, and now with 3D, there is yet another reason to ignore story, and instead go with visuals. Hopefully, soon the 3D craze will die out, and people will start seeing "older, outdated 2D" movies in a new light: They were great movies when they came out, and still are. There is no reason why TLK should be ranked lower because it doesn't look like CGI. And add to the irony, but the Lion King used A LOT of computer graphics. Yes, it's true that the Wildebeest scene was the only one to use what most people consider as CGI (creating many copies of the Wildebeest), but computers aided almost every frame. So in it's own way, The Lion King was the big CGI animated film of it's day. It's just that the producers knew that computers can only get you so far, and went with the story instead.
Story first. Computers second. That's how it should be done.
