DISNEY OPEN TO 2D

at the annual shareholder meeting:

"Iger later fielded a question from a shareholder who asked if 2D would be employed for Disney’s Rapunzel: Unbraided, which is being directed by master traditional animator Glen Keane (supervising animator on Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and Treasure Planet). According to Iger, the film will be made with a revolutionary process, which Kean helped develop, that will allow the animators to draw by hand and have their drawings translated to computer models. Iger also prattled off the cliché line about technology taking a back seat to good storytelling, but drew a round of applause by adding, “If we find that we have great characters and stories and believable worlds, and that it can be depicted in 2D animation, that’s also fine with us. It's an art from that's eternal in many respects and shouldn't be ignored.”
