Hey, Don! Since Disney has a long history and also has so many talented artists, do you consider it important to keep traditional animation techniques alive, whether in the form of a short (e.g. Paperman) or full-length feature (e.g. Frankenweenie)? I believe in story before everything, but the artistry of hand-drawn and stop-motion animation amaze me, and I'd be heartbroken to see them fade away.

I'm cool with computer animation being the dominant technique now and perhaps for decades to come, and it's not like I'm not arguing that one kind of animation is superior to another (that comes down to personal preference). It would just be unfortunate if traditional animation ever faded away and was no longer used for wide-release films. This is why it's awesome that Disney has used different techniques in recent years.
