Muffit II reporting for duty! Posts: 1,393 Group: Members Member #18 Joined: December 11, 2005	From cinescape.com: Quote: Walt Disney Feature Animation is getting back into the business of traditional animation with it's upcoming animated film FROG PRINCESS. The studio has put John Musker and Ron Clements together to develop the film. They will attempt to put a female spin on the tale of the Frog Prince. Musker and Clements worked together to make Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID. They also worked together on such traditionally animated Disney musicals as ALADDIN and HERCULES. The film is still in the early stages of development and no real script or cast details are available as of yet. All we know is that the film will be a female twist on the standard tale of the Frog Prince. Hooray for traditional 2D cel animation!!!

Before this, they were acting like 2D doesn't have a future. I'm guessing it has at least a little bit to do with Eisner resigning and Roy E. Disney coming back as a consultant to the company. hopefully this will just be the start of what's to come for Disney in the future.

Unregistered	Yay! I'm so happy that 2D animation is being given another chance, especially with people associated with my favorite Disney movie (The Little Mermaid)! I had heard somewhere that Disney put 2D on the back burner for a while after Treasure Planet bombed at the box office...it happened to coincide with the success of all the CGI Dreamworks hits and the fact that their works with Pixar were more popular. Personally I just didn't see TP because the subject didn't really appeal to me, but I guess they saw that as being that 2D just wasn't desirable anymore. I'm happy they're going for it again!

Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Pooh, Eeyore and all of them are not meant to be 3D. Disney should do a mixture of 2 and 3-D animations with their new movies but keep traditional characters in their traditional 2D form. Quote: I'm guessing it has at least a little bit to do with Eisner resigning and Roy E. Disney coming back as a consultant to the company. I'll always remember the Eisner guy from the introductions to the tv movies in the early 90s. Hopefully with the Disney family in the company again, we will see a lot more traditional disney style movies....instead of just making a sequeal to EVERY cartoon classic

You've made Mr. Flibbles very cross... Posts: 1,424 Group: Members Member #83 Joined: January 21, 2006 Gender Female Location St. Louis, MO Home of the toasted ravioli	Sounds to me like Disney is running out of ideas. I hate how now a day they are rehashing old fairytales. Some of the tails, like Cindrella, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast, were really good. Most of the stuff now is a bit cliche and pop culture humor. I'll wait for it to come out on cable. Teacher Bear

Sounds like some really good people are going to be involved, but still, the last few films they've churned out haven't even been close to stellar, not like the films of the late 80's/early 90's. And while we're on the topic, what ever happened to "Rapunzel: Unbraided"? It was supposed to be drawn traditionally, and then put through some computer process to make the colors look like they were oil-paints (or something like that). Glen Keane was said to have been helming that project, so at least the characters would've looked AWESOME! For those who don't know, Mr. Keane was the supervising/lead animator for Ariel and Aladdin. He's the BEST!!!
