2D style of Frozen characters is sooo goood omg, now the outcome looks childish. I mean proportions and this stuff

[somebum]

I have nothing against 3D, but it would feel refreshing if they started making 2D animated films again.

Always loved seeing the pencil tests disney does. Characters seem to have a lot more personality and more varied character designs. I don't dislike the CG designs though

[scoutart]

fortunately, I have a passion project for Disney with that medium and Alan Menken IS THE HEART, SOUL, AND BACKBONE of that project that I am preparing on, essentially based on a musical japanese Disney attraction

I think I would have been more inspired to buy the Blu-ray if it included the 2D version if the whole movie was done in that style.

[mooniia_edits]

Tbh, they should make 3D AND 2D movies

[dennisjansson]

They look more nice as 2D animated characters (Animated on Paper) than 3D animated characters (CGI). The fact that almost everything is made in CGI nowadays, animation & visual effects, is 1 of the reasons why i hate the modern movie industry. No offence & dont take me wrong, i still want CGI movies, ESPECIALLY from Pixar, but it gets excessive with CGI, ESPECIALLY since the 2010s.

Why are these videos vertical? Is it two shorts combined? Because it's longer than 1 minute so it's not a short, why vertical?

The way we feel about 3D versus 2D is how I feel about horizontal versus vertical. It's always "WHY??! Why vertical?!"

ngl this style looks way better than the 3D animation we end up with

3d films are nice and all, however 2d never gets old. I love the lines and how they look alive and well put together. The way I saw Anna in 2d form looks like she has personality than she was in cgi. Why can’t Disney just hand drawn animation? I’m pretty sure audience would love and enjoy those films; I know I would.

[MorganStradling]

The reason they don’t do 2D animation apart from animation tests is because they have completely gutted their 2D animation department. No one has the drawing skills to actually animate. Current animators are more like glorified puppeteers.

[koffeekage]

This is like that twilight zone episode where normal people choose between personalities they adopt when they turn 18. Just Ana there choosing to be Type 4.

[KeeksSnoogie]

Its mind boggling that the really last 2D Animation Disney made straight on was "Princess and the Frog" smh Disney need to stop playing and go back every once in a while...they got the budget to do so, I get its time consuming but the movies just doesn't hit like they use to and sick of live actions.

[meowsielee]

God the 2D tests look unbelievable. i wish disney would just go back to it already the 3D looks so bland in comparison

[Autumchild]

It is nice to hear and see that Disney does still have 2D animators that help assist the 3D animated films, but I would still genuinely love to see a fully 2D film from Disney Studios again. It's a shame they don't like taking risks anymore because of the all mighty dollar.

[sagedwebas]

This 2d animation looks like original Disney movies it's actually better than the 3d animation

[scottriddell]

By the gods animation is all to one! To the animation gods I swear to you both 2D and 3D are even

[FishyGull]

2d animation is just more satisfying to look at

[ferneto-htfc]

Holy cow, Magnifico looks hotter here than the actual film. 🥵
