Tbh, unless if it has STUNNING animation, CG is kind of getting old nowadays. I’m really happy 2D is getting a comeback. Just for some variety, you know?

I feel like it was a huge fad last decade. Now, more people want to adopt the spiderverse style, and I strongly doubt that many studios will take to it. there's already an over saturation in the low frame rate look dreamworks has already done it twice

Brilliant video mate - very impressed. This deserves a lot of views - quality long form content right here!

You forgot to mention Klaus 2019. It kinda revitalized interest in 2D animation by being a groundbreaking hand drawn film.

We really need a breath of fresh air. The 3D films haven't been doing that great recently. Yes, it could be due to poor marketing, but it gets to the point where it isn't exciting as it once was. I think people are getting a bit burnt out when it comes to CGI. it's not as anticipating as it was to see a CG movie in the 2010s. The event factor isn't there

2D animation as cel animation needs a bigger chance once again after 20 years and it’s not the maker’s fault those early 2000s 2D films bombed it was those critics! And everyone preferred 3D animation at the time considering 2D films as inferior or childish and that’s a big insult to animation’s history book
