Disposible Animation

     We all know Walt Disney and all of the classic movies he has created. All of the old Disney films are timeless, almost immortal. They continue to be relevant, entertaining, and interesting. The same can be said about Pixar's first films, Tim Burton's first films, and Dreamwork's first films. The problem that seems more prevalent than ever in animation now is that films are disposable. It becomes apparent that films are only created to be made for a quick buck, or there are so many to choose from online who is leading, why aren't online animations more popular? It seems that the world needs a modern day Innovator creating something that can be remembered rather than a cash grab.
     It is interesting how hard it is to remember the premise or the conflict of many modern day animations. When I look back at very popular films hailed for their creativity I can name lines and scenes like I had just watched it. But you can not say that modern movies are not good, with big studios like DreamWorks, Disney, or Pixar it is almost impossible for them to create something really bad! In reality though, what movies of theirs are going to hold up to me the only names that come up are Shrek ,How To Train Your Dragon, Bolt, Big Hero 6,and almost every Pixar Animation including the shorts. In my opinion I feel Pixar is the only ones creating memorable films.  In the case of online animation it is not the animator's who are not innovating it is how much competition and there is no where to be exposed. I really hope something will change.
