"Disney animator reveals what ‘Frozen’ would’ve looked like as a 2D, hand-drawn film"

This was awesome, I just had to share it here. Found on Reddit.

Interesting...

 

It would have been much better  :rolleyes:

I kinda like that style a lot more.

[Kaweebo 3,617]

Some films I think would have worked better as 2D animated movies and Frozen is one of them. I don't think as many people would complain about Disney 'using the same face' if they had Frozen be a 2D film. The way Anna and Elsa's noses curve just looks so much better in two dimensions and ends up looking kind of strange in three. I still love the designs, but still... Something like Zootopia works a lot better as a CGI film where the extra textures and hair that CGI can provide really helps make the animals feel 'alive'.

Yeah, I would've absolutely loved a 2D version instead. I think it's more fitting for this fairy-tale kind of story and all that.

Preferred 3D. 2D is nice and all, but the 3D effects, especially in regards to snow, made Frozen a perfect 3D fit.

Couldn't agree more. Frozen really utilised the 3D capabilities to it's maximum potential with the effects of snow at the time. I love hand drawn animation, but truth be told, Meander animation is the next step for Disney Animation (Paperman/Feast style).

I would have liked it better 2D.

I'm actually a little more curious how Tangled would have looked 2D. But this is pretty cool too (gosh darn it). X)"

Bring back this artform ;w;

Sometimes, I wish Disney would go back to 2D animated films, but at the same time I know they can't because this era of animated movies mostly prefers 3D graphics instead T_T

Frozen was a very environmentally driven film. As beautiful as this looks I think a lot magic would be lost. The world scenery was amazing in this movie(which is why I would love to see it in KH3). All that scenery was really brought by the 3D aspect of it.

While I like this artform, I think 3D made Frozen prettier than it would be in 2D.

How do you even notice this stuff? Can't we just enjoy the movie and not fret about the unimportant details?

Because I've seen the movie? Character design is everything to get you invested in the...well, characters. And I happen to think that their faces would translate much better to 2D than 3D. I'm also not a fan of the trend that every film is CGI now, even if it is easier to make than hand-drawn. Just looking at the pictures presented, the curvature of Anna's face works way better as a flat image instead of fully round, in my opinion. It doesn't make Frozen a bad film, it's just not in a style I'd consider superior.

In my opinion, I would've prefer the 2D hand-drawn over 3D cg. But even if the movie was hand-drawn I probably still wouldn't like it.

Good God, this looks beautiful!  I've mentioned how I dearly miss the awesome, hand drawn animated style Disney would use for its films, and looking at this 2D version of the "Love Is An Open Door" segment makes me miss that hand drawn style even more!!!  

 

GOOD GOD, HOW I MISS HAND DRAWN DISNEY!!!!
