    I’ve watched some old animation, it’s beautifully fluid because a lot of it was rotoscoped. I especially enjoyed those old school Superman movies.

    Some of the jokes were clever, but the writing and story telling in modern stuff is leagues ahead. And far more enjoyable animation, with a wide range of styles, even if it cuts corners.

    All-in-all I can’t see children getting excited over it compared to something new.

      I would say we live right now in a golden age of animation due to streaming services putting money in all kind of stuff. I’m curios to see how AI will make it possible for smaller teams to bring bigger projects to live, since not everyone is a Bill Plympton - being able to make feature length movie on their own.
