I have been watch old Disney films since having my little boy 9 weeks ago. And the main thing that struck me was attention to detail. In traditional disney animations like Sleeping Beauty or the Black Cauldron, every shade is detailed, every brick in the wall lovingly drawn in. Modern animations are all CGI and it would cost far too much for that kind of detail, so its left out. Characters are two-dimensional and crudely drawn (don't even get me started on the horrendous Japanese influenced animations) and, perhaps because no one cares, the stories are following suit.
Every Disney film recently has been vacuous, bland and pointless. The darkness, vivacity and sheer emotive force has gone. Dreamworks is slightly better but nothing has the resonance of even tv cartoon series like Dungeons and Dragons, He-man or Dogtanian. Not because these were better than the average kiddie fodder, but because there was time, effort and life put into these that is now gone. Our culture is being eroded, turned into a bland mush by people who think fairy tales should have a happy ending, CGI is always better, the darker side of life is traumatising for kiddies and differences between cultures should not be celebrated but should be hidden, destroyed and denied, for one big, bland, superculture based on flat pack furniture with no art, literature or anythingn not approved of by middle class secularists who hate science and art alike because it distinguishes individuals and rewards merit over mediocrity.
