However, I think it's better that I first explain a little history on this.
After years of America dominating the Japanese movie market, Japan had the guts to release a film that could set on par with them.
*Take Note that Disney Owns Dreamworks and since 2006, Pixar*
On July 18th, 1988

was released in Japanese theaters, and thus starting a Goldenage of 2D animation in the box-office.
Exactly 4 months after Akira launched in Japan, the United States received another badass animated movie.

Not only was this movie badass, but it surpassed Disney's "Oliver in Company both domestically and world-wide.
However Disney would then make one of the biggest comeback's in film history.
In 1989 Disney released
It found great success grossing over $200,000,000 world-wide.
After creating "The Little Mermaid" Disney created another epic.
That's right males the movie you've all been waiting for.
That's right **** Beauty and the Beast was release on November 13th, 1991.
The movie was so badass even the boys watched! :o
After that came the legend, that's right the one and only
mother****! This movie was awesome. Impressive animation, memorable characters, **** yeah this was the ****!
And just when you think it couldn't get any better then game...well....one of the greatest creations of man ever made.....yes I'm talking about.
One of the most if not the most beautiful animated film of all-time with an awesome story, characters, **** it had everything.
Whether or not this movie did rip-off of "Kimba the White Lion".
It was still a masterpiece that remains Godly to this day.
After that a ground breaking film would come out that would change the face of animation forever.
Toy Story featured amazing CG graphics never before imagined and it made jaws everywhere drop.
Well I think you get the picture good movies by Disney.
However soon Disney started to suck by creating **** like "Treasure Planet", "Atlantis", ""Home on the Range", and "Lilo and Stich".
I mean **** didn't this little ****er piss anyone else off?
I mean he was like suppose to be what the Conker of Disney? He's a ****ing alien I mean ****!
Anyway during that time there wasn't anything else other companies created that was good besides "The Rugrats Movie" *though that's probably my nostalgia getting the best of me*.
During this time CG got more and more successful with Toy Story 2, Bugs Life, Monsters Inc., and Shrek *which we know were all awesome*
While this was happening Disney's 2D movies went into a downward spiral in profit division, so much so that one even bombed in the box office.
So now Disney along with other companies *SONY being one* is whoring CG with ****y movies.
Cars sucked, Dreamworks is focusing too much on Shrek, Ninja Turtle in CG, Surfing Penguins....what the ****?
Anyway I think you know how annoying it is to see all this **** Constantly we see these movies and unlike before we barely see any big budget 2D ones *except the excellent Simpsons Movie*.
Will there ever be more 2D films again?
Well here's a recent chart showing Pixar's WorldWide Grosses.
As you can see they keep decreasing, the same can be said about most other CG films. So similar to with what happened with 2D animation, all these ****ty films being released at once is making people grow tired of this ****.
However I've done my research on any big budget 2D animation films coming up and I've only ran across 2 notable ones.
Rebuild of Evangelion *If you can call that big budget, I just put it on here because I love Eva :)* and Disney's 2009 movie "The Princess and the Frog" which the only interesting thing in it is that it's the first Disney movie where the princess is black.
Well in the end it doesn't stop me getting tired of this CG **** and hopeful we will see more 2D ones in the future and hope it will take longer before they start sucking again.
Well that's all I have to say.
Also, AMERICA TAKE A HINT FROM JAPAN TO MAKE BIG-BUDGET 2D MOVIES NOT FOR KIDS WITH ACTION!!!!
Oh and Japan take a HUGE risk by making a huge budget "Bleach" Movie! :)
