Gertie <3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSo many old cartoons and animated films were hand-drawn and there was something so\u00a0nice\u00a0about them. They were either VERY\u00a0simple or incredibly\u00a0detailed. Now it’s hard to come by an animation that wasn’t<\/em> created on a computer. Check out some of the differences between the original Pokemon series and the modern one: The hand-drawn characters (left) seem to be more detailed and possess sharper lines whereas the digital art (right) has more shading and an overall bubblier appearance. I have nothing against digital art, I recognize that it’s quicker, cheaper, and easier to produce in many ways but I wish it didn’t take over the field of animation as much as it has.<\/p>\nWhen you look at stations like Cartoon Network and Disney, it feels like every animated series is digitally produced now. That’s part of why I enjoy Studio Ghibli films so much. Even the more recent Ghibli films like Ponyo and Arrietty are hand-drawn! It’s very different than, say, Disney’s Frozen. Which is\u00a0still very beautiful in its own way. What do you think? Do you prefer the traditional hand-drawn animated look or the modern digital style?<\/p>\n
