its not the idea that pixar still 'has it', disney has been running since the 1930s whereas toy story was released in 1995, pixar are innovative and have pioneered the animation western audiences look for, where 2-D is outdated in a commercial sense

so disney have gone for live action stuff like Hannah Montana, High School Musical etc. where they have been extremely successful with their new form of entertainment

fact is that animation isnt really disneys thing anymore

Damn good point, last ones I remember from Disney regarding full length animation feature films were Mulan, Hercules, Anastasia and they got released YEARS ago, what was the last big animation that they did that was noteworthy ????

It's the all animation is Disney syndrome, can't hardly blame them though, everybody in the 90s was following the Disney formula, and "Anastasia" was pretty much Don Bluth giving up to it.

He gave up to it with Thumbalina, Anastasia's at least more creative.

Not all movies Disney has made in the last 9 years have been horrible, just mediocre to say the least, it's just that people realized not all animations is Disney, and all the sequels didn't help at all -though once again, not all of them were that bad-

Maybe they're too busy squeezing money out of tweens with their pop bands and sitcoms. That's why I'm looking forward to the releases of "The Princess and the Frog" and "Rapunzel", there's a good chance they're finally doing their job again.

I think all of their great writers went to Pixar. The Princess and the Frog is supposed to be their big comeback into 2D animation but it looks awful. HOw racist is it that the black girl turns into a frog. Maybe the castle should be a KFC?

I always thoughts Tarzan was pretty good. Not outstanding but pretty cool
