Oh, so
NOW it can be 2D? Well even though I'd like to be happy that it is, it almost feels like it's too late for me to like this, because now it's just a 2D spin-off of a movie that should have been 2D in the first place. Say what you will about some of Disney's old TV shows and direct-to-video sequels having more TV budget looking animation than their original hand-drawn features, but at least back then the true "Disney Style" as I call it of 2D animation was consistent through both their movies and spin-offs. This makes me think of all the official Disney Princess artwork that depicts Rapunzel in 2D as if Disney wants to
pretend that their movies are still 2D, when the truth is all the hand-drawn sides of production are being regulated to hiding behind CGI since it seems to be considered not good enough to be out in the open so people can experience quality hand-drawn art like we used to from Disney movies.
Besides,
Tangled already did it's damage to the Disney studio, since they foolishly decided to make it CGI at a time when they were just starting to go back to hand-drawn animation again (and the kind of animated movies they're supposed to make), and were continuing on with CG movies when they should have already known to quit after
Princess and the Frog and it wasn't too late yet to fix their misguidedness. But they didn't quit, and by letting CGI have a foothold in their work, it corruptly turned them away from hand-drawn more than ever, and they now think that they can get their success from CG movies when they have no business trying to do so as a 2D studio. It's even this movie's fault that
Frozen wasn't allowed to be hand-drawn either, because Disney modeled it off of the wrong movie when
Princess and the Frog was the one that reflected what they were really supposed to be doing.
Tangled was an accident, like all their CG movies have been to this day.
On the subject of the show's art, it does look pretty good based on that image alone. It's too bad I'm not willing to say the same about the original movie or any of Disney's CG movies, since I don't consider them to be
true Disney animation.
