Are other people just completely uninterested in CGI animated films anymore? They just look so samey and dull to me, like a screenshot from Pixar's latest film could easily be from Minions 3: Escape to Africa or whatever.
And people are impressed by them from a technical aspect, like people would gush about how the snow in Frozen looks like real snow, but I don't go to movies to see snow that looks like real snow. When I see impressive textures like that I don't think "Wow, the artist who created that was a real genius", instead I think "Wow, the technology behind that is really advanced." These CGI movies don't feel like a creation of someone's artistic vision, they feel totally un-special, like they were made by some guys on a computer.
I don't know if this is a common sentiment among normies, but we're lucky if we get one good non-CGI film a year in the west, and they aren't coming from the biggest studios. Klaus was the only animated film I was interested in last year and Wolfwalkers is the only one I'm interested in this year.
we will never get something as kino and over the top exagurated animation in cgi
Hunter Peterson
Yeah, they largely feel like tech demos with a story attached nowadays, and the rigidness and lack of creativity potential means they might as well have been live action.
Justin Collins
Thanks for putting my feelings into words.
I don't hate CGI films, some are enjoyable or look genuinely beautiful. But they are soulless. They do not contain true artistic merit, they're an example of what a computer can do, not a human.
>they're an example of what a computer can do, not a human. But who's controlling the computer? Is a skyscraper not impressive because construction machines built it? It takes humans and tools working together to make this kind of art.

I too enjoy eating boogers.

pixar needs to make their own home on the range to finally kill theatrical cgi
Jack Collins
Medium doesn't mean anything if the concepts for the movies and characters are shit.
Eli Diaz
Treasure Planet killed theatrical 2D. Home on the Range was just the medium crapping its pants after its dying breath.

>pixar needs to make something inferior to finally kill something superior
Brody Reed
As someone studying 3D, that’s not true. It’s more a matter of seeing what works within the limited framework of surprisingly robust technology. Just about everything you see is an extension of human creativity.
Nicholas Harris
It's more depressing seeing how CG animation has so much creative potential, just to see them hash out the same things over and over.
John Jackson
>but I don't go to movies to see snow that looks like real snow.
yeah but everyone else does. News flash: people are retarded and this is why 2D died and CGI took off. What draws people in isn't depth and story it's spectical, AKA the visuals. The same concepts from theater apply to movies and animation, hence why theater is always so flamboyant and over the top. It's not because you are in a theater where even someone in the nose bleed seets need to hear and see you, it's to grab the smooth brain masses attention.

I'm tired of seeing blacks and mexicans in every fucking animated movie. Im not a gringo, i don't need to accept them in my country like you faggots do. Exploit a different aesthetic you retards.
Kayden Bennett
>Are other people just completely uninterested in CGI animated films anymore? Me. It's like TV. I just stopped bothering with it.
And at this point nothing will make me return to either of those things.
I feel you, OP. I think the reason for it is the "cartoons are for children" logic; the target audience doesn't care about artistic nuances, so the producers don't bother about them and, in turn, the public assumes that's how it must be and keep consuming
Pretty sure mexicans will get tired of that sooner or later. Like, dia de los muertos Isn't their whole culture. It's as if gringos one day decided to market my country's stereotypical aesthetic and do a lot of gaucho-themed shit. It would get old quick.
A skyscraper is no longer impressive in a city with multiple other similar skyscrapers, its just another office building
Gavin Evans
I never thought "oh wow im tired of seeing white americans in these american movies". If i wanted to see blacks and mexicans, I'd watch african or mexican movies or cartoons.
