Originally Posted By Jim I must admit to being biased toward traditional animation, and I'm not sure why. Part of it may come from that while I enjoyed BUG'S LIFE, TOY STORY 2, and MONSTER'S INC, I always felt TOY STORY was bland. Since it was the first, it may have missed that vital connection for me. Or it may be that I feel more connection to traditional animation--it has more warmth, more . . . something. Either way, I'm sure many people share your thoughts on TOY STORY.

It took a while, but I finally figured it out: CGI tries to look like live action, not like animation. Think about it. The textures, the infinitesimal detail, the lack of squash & stretch, the shading...the goal is to look real. The goal of hand-drawn animation is to feel real, to simulate reality more than imitate it. That's also why, IMHO, 99% of the CGI in hand-drawn movies looks abominably out of place. The Pixar movies are wonderful. But if you love animation, you want to see something that LOOKS animated. At least I do.
