PIXAR takes Disney back to Hand-Drawn Animation
While everybody is looking at the newest PIXAR development and their merge with Disney many thought the traditional hand drawn animation is on its way out completely. This might be more wrong then ever as two new productions now might get the hand drawn animation that made Disney famous. The Frog Princess could be one of the next productions as John Lasseter is 100% for this approach of the development team; Ron Clements and John Musker.
Imagine this, a studio creative chief who not only has brought back into the fold the creative team that single handedly revived the art of great storytelling with The Little Mermaid, but gave them free reign to craft the story on their own without bringing in a screenwriter from outside, and then offered them a choice, repeat – a choice of what look they thought was best for their film. At this stage John Lasseter could all but insist on a revival of Snow White in live action starring Demi Moore and he’d still go down in recent history as the greatest visionary leader feature animation has had since Walt!
