Journal # 5: Advisory: This Ain't Disney Part 2
Personally I like modern animation much better because it looks so much better and much better to look at. It is actually appealing to look at and it sometimes amazes you. Also, in modern animation, more effects can be done making it look "cool" and make you be so amazed unlike hand animations. In hand animation, the animator is limited to what they can do. They cannot do the things modern animators can. Modern animations can also do a lot more stuff and make a lot of things more effective than hand animation. Modern animation also basically has no boundaries. The animators are free to do anything they want and if they do not have the technique to do what they want they can easily learn it or make it themselves. It is also more effective because of the growing technology we have today. Animators have so much equipment they can use to create the animation they want. Hand animation just does not have a lot of jaw dropping techniques that viewers can look at unlike modern animation. However, some hand animation can be "cool" to look at because of how amazing the animators can draw and how they can make the animation move just by their drawings. Other than that hand animation just cannot compete with modern animation.
This opinion of mine is also influenced by the modern society I live in. I am constantly surrounded with modern technology and not a lot of the old technology. Also, the animations i mostly see are the modern animation since that is what mostly everyone is making now a days. Modern animation also makes it easier to make than hand animation and it also does not demand that much skill unlike hand animation. I guess if hand animation was so much easier it can be competition to modern animation. However, it just cannot compete anymore in my opinion because everyone is always coming up with technology to make things easier and by this it makes modern animation so much easier as well. I think opinions about this topic will just come down to what they see more and what it can do. Since we see more of the modern animation we are more accustomed to it making us like it more than hand animation which we barely see today.

Theres only one problem I see now in most modern animated films. Half of them are terrible. The thing is, and you could relate this to video games as well, the eye candy. People are trying to make everything look picture perfect, the forget about the actual content. Back then, to get you into an animation, there would be things to make you laugh, make you think; just a bit of everything. To me, modern animators need to try and start making a good story first, before polishing the rest.
I too prefer modern animation. But I still enjoy watching the classical shows such as the 1968 cartoon of spider-man.
I don't agree with you when you say hand animators cannot do the things modern animators can. Hand animation and modern animation are basically the same thing, just done in a different way and have a different end result.
I agree that modern animation is much more interesting than the traditional forms, but when you say "I guess if hand animation was so much easier it can be competition to modern animation," I don't think that it would necessarily be competition to modern animation; because would it increase the potential of how "amazing/interesting"the final product looks? Even if more people were able to create works of "traditional" animation it wouldn't mean they would be able to create pieces that equal the level of modern animation, right?
