2D Animation

2D animation?! Miss hasn't talked about 2D animation! Yeah she has, but she called cel animation and you shold stick to that. I only bring it up because with just a few weeks to go until the exam, I read that Disney are releasing a brand new cel animated film; The Princess and the Frog. Now, I'd forgot about this and so was surprised to learn that the trailer was released today (see it here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/princessandthefrog/).

So will anyone go and see it? The trailer makes a lot out of the fact that Disney have been doing this stuff for 75 years, but is that a good thing? If the same people are releasing films like Bolt in 3-D cgi who will want to watch 2D cel animation? We'll have to wait and see how it does at the box office.

As for the trailer, well its OK. I imagine that the target audience (Under 10's?) will like the fairy tale aspect of the story and the frog looks like he may have the best lines for anyone older to enjoy.
