No, never. If I remember correctly, they had significant problems with the Princess and the Frog because they had converted all their 2d animation studio space after Home on the Range failed. Not only had they lost a ton of people with the knowledge and experience needed to create a 2d animated movie, but they also did not have the physical tools necessary to produce one. The gap between HotR and PatF was five years. We're now ten years out from PatF. Even if they were going to attempt to create a new 2d movie, it would likely be heavily computer assisted and thus look and feel nothing like a traditional 2d feature.

Hell, they literally had to pull a bunch of old men out of retirement to do the animation in Mary Poppins Returns:

The Disney Renaissance movies already had a lot of computer assistance, but in any case, I doubt they'd do it anyway.

A shame it happened at all since the start of the century. I know there was already a lot of flak over people not being credited for working on Mary Poppins Returns's animated sequence as well (according to a few animators on FB).
 
One of the best arguements I've heard for 2D is that it's evergreen. A Bugs Bunny short animated in the 40s looks as good today as it did back then. Meanwhile, Toy Story looks more comparable to Food Fight! with every passing year.

I suppose it speaks to the unlimited nature of 2D animation and what we've seen over the past century in terms of its evolution.

The original Toy Story, even now, looks a hundred times better than Foodfight ever did.

Until you look at Sid's dog. Actually if you look at level of detail the character models are about on par with each other, it's just that Toy Story has far superior animation so you don't notice it as much (also Toy Story didn't make its humans purposefully grotesque).
 
More like, "Vanellope Buggers Off to GTA", featuring more obnoxious self-advertising than you can shake a stick at.
 
Regarding the stolen audioanimatronic, iirc he's a few feet tall, pretty sure this is a pic of it from a few years back, long after the ride was shuttered

That looks like one of the fucking Oogieloves holy shit. Maybe it's found a better home than the dark abyss that calls itself a dead attraction.

yeah realistically its best chance was getting the innards recycled for something or thrown in the background of some crap like how the sea serpent from World of Motion ended up out at California Adventure or whatever
 
honestly, i think stuff like the lion king feels timeless apart from the cgi herd scene. i don't mind cgi, but it's really oversaturated nowadays.
 
Well, since it's less than 24 hours to Christmas my time I've decided to get around to talking about that special I mentioned back in October.

So as I previously mentioned, unlike Disney's Halloween Treat/A Disney Halloween I don't know the name of this special, but it's very similar to Disney's Halloween Treat. However whereas they had a lot of material to use for something related to Halloween, the Christmas version is really grasping at straws, to say the least. One of the most relevant parts is where they show part of the Fantasia segment that uses The Nutcracker Suite, and that's not saying much. Most of the clips involve things like the part in Snow White where the title character dances with the drawfs or when the mice and birds work on the dress in Cinderella.

Near the end however they do finally have actual Christmas shorts to show off. The second-to-the-last segment is a old short featuring Santa and his elves getting ready for Christmas Eve and delivering presents at once house. The last short is even older, however (in black and white!) and is about how a very poor Mickey sells Pluto to a rich family to do something nice for Minnie (who is married to Pete in this short) and their kids.

If Disney's Halloween Treat was successful I could understand why they would want to cash in a Christmas followup, but it's pretty weak overall in my opinion. Really, the best thing Disney has done related to Christmas is Mickey's Christmas Carol.

Sounds like you're talking about this famous special, still a traditional classic in Scandinavia!
