Animation has been a timeless art for ages. Walt Disney and companies alike have created animations that are considered legends today, but is that trend starting to die? Walt Disney and similar companies still make good movies, but what about the internet and are these movies considered timeless? In a lot of ways animation today can be and is considered disposable, meaning forgettable or not very good. Disposable animation can mostly be seen on the internet. This is because of how easy animations are to make now, anyone can do it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a bittersweet. Even though it is great that anyone can animate if they choose to do so, it can and does lead to poor short animations that are forgettable. What a lot of people are looking for is the next Walt Disney, someone who is going to make the next long wave of timeless featured animated films. In conclusion these people want someone who produces great animation for the sake of pushing things forward and making great, timeless art.
This article was eye opening, but also whiny at the same time. I never noticed how much animation fits under this category of being disposable, this is probably due to the fact that I don't usually analyze the quality of the animation itself but instead the overall premise/point of it. If animation makes me laugh or sad then great, if the quality is descent then great. The only time I ever notice the quality is if it is god awful, like so bad that you can even watch it. I guess I sometimes view animated shorts like a movie, the story and characters are more important. So I like the article in the regard that it showed me something new. I don't like the article in the regard of how in my view it was just a lot of complaining. I understand you want the next Walt Disney, but that doesn't mean you have to write an entire article whining about how everything else is inferior. That is just my opinion though. This is for the animation side of Digital Media. Overall disposable article.
