It has a great and nice 2D vibe but it’s not fully done by hand like the old school Disney movies XD
Look up Toon boom studio as it is what they are using for the characters instead of flash.
Doesn’t matter to me. Tradigital animation still has that classic look to it.
Also i would not say it’s a full on 2D
it uses a computer based software that makes it portray in 2D style and uses 3D backgrounds as well.

Those films weren’t marketed properly. TPatF was marketed as the standard Disney fairy tale (unlike Tangled and Frozen, which were marketed as comedies), and a lot of young boys probably lost interest in it due to the Disney Princess franchise being aimed at girls.
As for Winnie the Pooh…since Disney has been marketing the bear to toddlers for the past couple decades, how many adults do you think will be rushing to see a Winnie the Pooh film?
I imagine the MLP movie will be at least a decent success, what with all the marketing and the big fandom. And even if it doesn’t singlehandedly help revive 2D-animated films, there’s always Klaus and the Dragon’s Lair movie.

Same here, though for a resurgence in 2D animated movies to happen, something like My Little Pony: The Movie needs to be very successful, not only critically, but also financially. The Princess and the Frog and Winnie the Pooh did okay, but they weren’t doing anywhere near as well as Disney’s CGI movies at the time. MLP: The Movie has merchandising to help, but I would hope that it doesn’t even need to rely on that to be successful.
I usually don’t go to see movies twice, but My Little Pony: The Movie is one that I’m definitely seeing twice, possibly three or even four times. Every little bit counts.

Indeed. I’m excited for this film less because it’s MLP and more because it’s a 2D-animated film in a day and age in which those are extremely rare.
It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen a 2D-animated film on the big screen. I think the last one I saw in theaters was Home on the Range. (Yeah, I know.) I didn’t see The Princess and the Frog in theaters because I was fourteen and still in the “Disney princesses are stupid and gay” phase.
@EyeGuy
In the earliest episodes, Wildfire would draw the storyboards, then animators’d trace her sketches into Flash, followed by the miscellaneous touch-ups and shit. Even 3D movies start off in 2D during production, as presumed by Tangled’s credits.
I wonder if this proves that the film IS drawn frame-by-frame like traditional animation as opposed to using rigged puppets like the show…except on a computer.
It was in theaters, saw it in 2009.
I’m pretty sure TPatF was tradigital, but people consider it a traditionally-animated film anyway.
wasn’t princess and the frog 2D as well ? i could of sworn that was Disney’s last 2D film but not idea if that was on the big screen.

Maybe not, but Sibsy did leave DHX a yonk ago, requiring a replacement storyboarder.

Is it different now?

But in October…I’ll finally get another chance.

It’s tradigital animation.
