Did anyone grew up watching cartoons pre-2000's?

[Azami]

Something about old cartoons (particularly the 90's) just looks so much better to today's cartoons. Even the story telling is different.

I'm sure they know that. No, digital computer drawn animation is not comparable to animation (and effects) done on physical cels and either photographed or scanned in. Hybrid media exists, GITS SAC and also Innocence is an example of hybrid cel, digital, and 3D, and to my knowledge that studio is one of the few that hasn't yet gone full digital. There were some pseudo-analog media during the transition, like Texhnolyze and others adding artificial film grain.

Don't know why this snarky attitude of arrogance and ignorance has become so popular these days, it really has to go. It is beyond obnoxious. So many readily assume they're a step ahead, when they're several steps behind. This interferes with learning and "reality testing".

Calm down. You are right, the look of traditional optically photographed animation is quite a unique thing. But not impossible or even difficult to replicate. The real question is why would any studio want to, typically?

It's worth pointing out that Disney studio's 2D animation vastly and objectively improved in visual quality once they implemented their CAPS process. There's no way in hell The Lion King would look nearly as good using pre-digital methods. Things like sweeping camera movements, near infinite cel planes which is impossible to capture physically, CGI hyenas, wider color gamut. Not to mention how much more time consuming animating is on paper.

So sure, you can go for that traditional authenticity, but what other aspects will be sacrificed?

Never heard of this one, which surprises me as I’ve watched a load of those YouTube vids where it is clear it is American cartoons (I’m UK).

I’m from a time with Ulysses 31, Dogtanian, Mysterious Cities of Gold etc… Then a bit later the likes of a Mask, Centurions, Visionaries, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

Oh yeah, we had Animaniacs.

Cheesy af themes now, but loved them as a kid. So many other cartoons and stuff (Moomins, Smurfs) I enjoyed.

After all those years since then, we saw that high tech doesn't guarantee happiness nor a good civilization. Even at outside, i can smell the sorrow in thin air. I can feel. Something is.....
