Description
CGI is just a different way of doing animation, it takes practice and discipline. It's not "lazy" or "ugly" if you work on it. Many animators who now do CGI got their start in traditional animation! Disney said they weren't doing traditional anymore, so what, their main job is to entertain (and make money), but they also have to keep with the times.Related content

It's like horse-drawn carriages and silent films, look hard enough and you'll find them!

Agreed. I grew up with some CGI too.Β

CGI has been around since at least the 1960s!

The 60s? I thought it was the 70s.

There are some CGI scenes in several 2D Disney animated films, including The Great Mouse Detective, Beauty and the Beast, and the Lion King!

The first CGI short was A Computer Animated Hand from 1972.

Exactly!
Try telling that to cartoonaboos. -__-

Yeah, but you should at least respect both forms!

Not to mention, traditional animation is more expensive, because of the prices of paper, ink, and paint, than CGI. Β However, governments in other countries foot the bill for traditional hand-drawn animation with taxpayer money.Β

Wait, they do that? 
Do you know which countries that do that?
π: 0 β©: 1
Just those two countries? That's pretty neat.

There maybe more, I can search.

and that's why there are more live-action shows on Nick and Disney!

Whoever said that making animated films in CGI or 3D is 'easy' and 'lazy' has never worked on a 3D program. I took the course in college and it wasn't easy, I had no idea how to animate stuff(it didn't help that my teacher was a dick to us as we never touched the program our entire lives and it was our first time using it but he expects us to know it overnight and doesn't bother to help us out) and it was hard as shit. :\
It's the same thing when others said about Flash animation is 'lazy' when it's not. I too used that program and that too wasn't easy. I'm actually learning on how to do it so I can make a Flash animation on YouTubers.

I hear you on the flash animation part.
I don't know if I told you, but I once had Adobe Flash installed on my laptop, but it go erased (no thanks to my stupidity) when I updated it to Windows 10. Β Do you know of any affordable flash software I could get?

If you had it installed before, do you still have a disk? I still have mine so you should have yours.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't, I'm afraid. Β Forgot to create a backup.
π: 0 β©: 1
You don't have the Flash disc?
You'll have to buy another one if you don't have it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I got my original copy of Flash from JourneyEd, so I didn't have a disc when I first installed it. Β I still have the e-mail with the download code, but I need serial code to use it fully, which I don't have.
π: 0 β©: 1
So you got it from JourneyEd(I bought mine there too). If you still have the e-mail, you can ask them for a serial code.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think I tried that once, but got no reply. Β (I'll try again, though, if you suggest it.) Β At the time my flash was erased, though, I was no longer a student at college, so I doubt they'll be of any help. Β Still, I'm willing to try.

It's basically a response to a user named Tooneguy, who is a total 90s kids who hates CGI!
π: 0 β©: 2
I just checked the user who commented on your stamp and holy hell! That guy is basically a Mysticark/Titanwarrior clone. That person too hated CGI and was obsessed with nostalgia before he left DA due to him having an Encyclopedia Dramtica article.
And I just blocked him since I too enjoyed CGI and last thing I need is for him to come page to bitch about it. :\
π: 0 β©: 2
You know about MystiicArk/TitanWarrior too?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes and I wish I hadn't. >_> I take it you know him too?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, he liked my art at first, but after I did a poll on a follow up on one of my art pieces, he got mad that it involved characters from a CGI movie, and I told him to stop living in the past and embrace the future, he got mad and blocked me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Do you have a link to your poll where he went nuts about it?
I agree.

Thanks!
Holy jeez but I shouldn't be so surprised. 
Just give me few minutes as I uploaded to my Photobucket account and it was set on privacy then I'll note you. :3

Not to mention total ignorance about the history of CGI, the first CGI animation was in 1961 and the first live action movie to feature a CGI special effect was in 1973!
π: 0 β©: 0
But didn't shows like ReBoot use complete CGI, though? Β And wasn't that a 90s cartoon?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah and Transformers: Beast Wars and Veggie Tales

Grow up and learn to accept it, asshole.

Grow the fuck up and learn to accept it!

Tell that to ToonEGuy , the animation-obsessed bastard.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I made this with him and his followers in mind!
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll bet. Β Sheesh, what a dumbass.

I wouldn't say it killed Traditional animation, I just think a larger audience preferred CGI. I think reason is also CGI is used more often cause it is easy and quick to make.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, that's what I said, compare that to sitting a desk and drawing the same picture a thousand times!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep. Don't get me wrong, I love both styles, but if I were to animate, I would do cgi mostly cause it is less stressful. Just doing simple animations on my Laptop is hard enough...

3D modeling isn't easy at all, so yeah.
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree! I took that course in college and it was pretty damn hard. It also didn't help that my teacher was a dick and didn't bother helping me or my college mates as we never used that program in our entire lives but he expects us to know it overnight. :\
I can tell you that whoever says that 3D animation is 'lazy' and 'easy' has obviously never used 3D Modeling program. If they used it, they'll see that it's no easier than 2D animation.

Why the fuck do people think this anyway? Β They seriously have odd tastes in movies.
π: 0 β©: 2
I know it's so weird I mean I've never been this way at all because I don't care about the style and only the story and so forth. I'm wanting to learn computer animation but I feel like I'll be discouraged to post any of my stuff on here and I'm tired of people complaining about how Disney should go back to hand drawn animation. If Pixar and DreamWorks can do it then why not Disney I mean they can do stop motion and anime for all I care along with DreamWorks. I can give two shits that Disney switched to 3d animation just as long as they are continuing to make new and original content unlike their crap ass live action remakes.

Ikr? Have you heard of ToonEGuy?
ToonEGuy is a 80's/90's fanboy who hates CGi Disney movies and hates the fact that 2D animation is rarely used nowadays in animated movies, especially in theaters.
π: 0 β©: 1
Honestly I don't think you're a true fan of animation if you hate computer animation and you wish that 2d animation should come back. I see this a lot online and it's so fucking irritating. It's basically people saying that they like computer animation but they hope that Disney will create another hand drawn movie but I don't care. It's stupid.
