Disney needs to return to this animation format

Yeah, and I heard that a large part of the reason why Princess and the Frog didn't reach expectations was because they had the rotten luck of releasing it a week before James Cameron's Avatar. For the record, Winnie the Pooh's low box office numbers was only because Disney made the stupid decision to release it on the same day as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I mean, releasing PATF around the time of Avatar is one thing, as the film, while heavily marketed, was not guaranteed to be a box office success. But releasing Winnie the Pooh on the same day of not only a Harry Potter film, but the anticipated conclusion of the film series, AND the second part of said adaptation of the final book?! That's box office suicide, even with the PG-13 rating (which BTW, I remember seeing lots of people at The Dark Knight who were much younger than 13).

Do you not count Frozen because of it being in 3D or did you not see the movie either way for the most part I would say is that Disney even through you will never know what Disney will do in the future, I say they are done doing hand drawn 2D animated movies. And I bet it will be 3D computer animated movies, and I bet saves a lot of paper doing it on computers rather then drawing them by hand. You can still enjoy the traditional animated movies like this one, but for now I can say for the foreseeable future is that Disney is done doing hand drawn 2D animated movies.

You know what else would save paper? Replanting trees once you cut some down.
And we've already got plenty of movies whose usage of CGI were contributors in their becoming critical and possibly financial bombs, like the Prequel Trilogy of Star Wars, the Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, Avatar (it made a lot of dough when it was first made, but it fell into obscurity quickly, so it's by definition a failure), and most DreamWorks films, we really don't need another Disney film that utilized 3D CGI that comes across as gimmicky as a result. -

I'm doubtful about that. For starters, the various Pokmon and DBZ movies are still 2D animation, and even the Simpsons movie is 2D. There's also the DC Universe Animated Original Movie line.
And besides which, CGI doesn't really make a movie any better and in fact, several times, it comes across as gimmicky and as such results in the movie turning badly. For example, the Prequel Trilogy from Star Wars was LOADED with CGI, and while financially it was a modest success, it was critically bombed, and a large part of the reason for the bad reception was the CGI factor and bad story writing. Then there's also the Matrix sequels, which were utterly hated because of the CGI and the bad story writing. Heck, look at most of DreamWorks' films. They went the CGI route, yet they're losing a LOT of money and most of their films were downright terrible. Probably the only CGI films that were actually GOOD were Advent Children and Pixar. -

I really wish Disney would bring hand-drawn animation back, if only for its historical importanceits the original animation format that started the studio, I think to abandon it completely was a mistake.
Bringing it back doesn't mean they have to stop computer animation completelythey could just release hand drawn animated films alongside their computer animated filmsI don't see why they couldn't do that.
Just my opinion
You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.
