“The Princess and the Frog,” which took the old-fashioned 2D route with hand-drawn animation, was a box-office disappointment. Do you think that technique still has a future?
Absolutely. And we’re in the middle of making a new “Winnie the Pooh” feature using hand-drawn animation.
I think “The Princess and the Frog” had a perception problem -- that it was for little girls and kids. It was nothing to do with the technique, and when my career’s over, I think it’ll be in the Top 5 of the ones I’m most proud of.
There are many reasons why the film didn't met expectations, but at least he stated a good one IMO.
