Iger and Lasseter wanting to get around the Animators Union is what really killed it.

Didn't all of those movies flop or under-perform?

>Disney movies that seem like knockoffs by another studio
Naw. Only Godkino

Yes. If anything, Shrek saved the industry.

I thought Prince of Egypt did quite while. For sure Treasure Planet and Atlantis underperformed.

Because 2 out of those 3 movies "failed" in the eyes of producers, despite all three of them being stunning in their own right. Why put in the time, effort, and money into unique animation and touching story when you can just make shitty sequels and half-assed remakes?

Shrek was great, it just had some obnoxious properties in it. All of those OP movies under performed and only gained a cult fallowing later and theyre all just remakes of past similar stories.

Atlantis was the only shitty movie out of the 3. Antz started everything wrong in animation far before Shrek.

You only hate 3D animation because everything animated uses the same rendering style to make it look like it was animated by Disney/Pixar, when really they could and should easily have as much variety as 3D videogames do.

Yes but they were all good. Audiences are morons.

>Atlantis was the only shitty movie out of the 3
Atlantis was awesome. Verne-inspired kino.

>Shrek was great

is a low effort self aware disney parody with fart jokes

every western animationthat came after that is now either copying the shrek format or animes

>Atlantis was the only shitty movie

brainlet

When will 3d Unionize so we can have some diversity again?

Shrek didn't ruin shit. Walt Disney ruined shit. If American audiences were open to the idea of animation not being a genre, they wouldn't have had to dumb down some of the more mature Disney movies with things like the funny wacky robot in Treasure Planet and they would've been more palpable as general fantasy adventure movies.

Prince of Egypt was dreamworks

Walt wanted to make more adult animation. If anything, blame Eisner for dumbing the image down

Antz was just a regular Woody Allen movie with humanoid insects from the uncanny valley. I'd love to see a remake with art direction from David Cronenberg or Junji Ito.

Walt wanted to make artsy animation, like Fantasia or The Old Mill. He was always pro-families for all his work, though.

Eisner was a retard and always did weird and dumb shit. But he was also very experimental and okayed a lot of shit nobody else would. Problem was he was a super cheap fucker too

>making a Treasure Island adaptation without loopy Ben Gunn
Yeah, nah.

It's not that I wanted a story without him, but they had to kiddiefy him so much to the point where his jokes were embarrassing, not funny. You can do a person who has been stranded and driven crazy without being WOOAHHH WACKY WATCH OUUUUTTT WOOOoOoWOWWoWOW about it.

The Prince of Egypt performed reasonably well
The issue there was the following
>The Prince of Egypt is the flagship production of Dreamworks, any good animator could work on that
>If you sucked, or didn't play your cards right you'd be demoted to Shrek
>Prince of Egypt is released and does well, and Dreamworks wants to repeat that with the Road to El Dorado, which performs less well
>Shrek is released (the bastard child) and fucking kills it at the box office, breaking records
>Dreamworks knows they've struck gold, with Shrek 2's success and Sinbad's failure to cement that view

Treasure Planet and Atlantis underperformed yeah

Brainlet post

Not an argument

>Road to El Dorado didn't perform well
I don't get it, the movie's so much fun though

The dragon that gulped farquaad was hot tho.

>low effort
Why do you think that?

Shrek was literally just one of a dozen variables that killed traditional animation in the US, you might as well blame Finding Nemo or Ice Age while your at it.

It was a perfect storm of issues that killed 2d animation.
>3 major studios producing 2d flops within the same 3 years
>2d animation becoming increasingly expensive due to 3d integration making profits harder to attain
>3d animation becoming more and more lucrative among multiple studios
>The oversaturation of cheap 2d films devaluing the market.

Literally if one of those variables 2d may still be alive and well today.
