The good, the bad, the return of real animation.

How many three-dimensional bubble-faced graphics does it take to massacre a studio's animation credibility?
About a decades' worth, apparently.


But Walt Disney Studios, after a long deviation from quality after their acquisition of Pixar, has finally proclaimed its return to grassroots hand-drawn princesses with "Princess and the Frog" and "Rapunzel".

Not to mention Wes Anderson is currently on the bandwagon with some analog animation of his own in "Fantastic Mr. Fox".

So this is it: two of my favorite production powerhouses have brought back oldschool animation. It's been an absurdly long time coming (I was done with Pixar after "Ants"), but it's finally here.

Welcome back, quality animation!
