That makes me feel sick in my stomach. Very, very sad - especially for all those who work there.

Sad indeed. When I was on the short animation tour at MGM, back last month, they mentioned that after that bear movie was completed, all the animators were put on a paid leave, with an unknown ending. I guess we know.

Animation is indeed art. I think that this is major loss, not only for Disney but for future generations. Thank God there were no computers when Michalangelo painted the Cistine Chapel.

Makes you wonder what's going to happen if they lose Pixar next year.

 

[cosette24601]

then they will develop their own computer animation.

it's a shame, really, but reality is -- either they'd have to cheapen the product orconsolidate the operations. I don't blame this one on Eisener's mismanagement.

How sad. Computer animation is great, but it'll never be the same as traditional animation, IMO.
