Meanwhile the 2D feature The Princess & The Frog is having a bad time at the box office, Disney is showing the first official screenshot of Raiponce (slated for release late 2010)

My opinion? I like the style : it's much nicer than anything I have seen being created with computers, especially the characters. They made a great work on the eyes, so that they are very expressive, almost as much as if they were hand drawn.

Of course I don't think the style will affect anything on the animation side, and it still keeps the "roundish / Pixarish" style that I don't like, but it's still a step in the right direction.

With hand-drawn animation being at the end of the road (at least in theaters), maybe there will still be a way to see the "traditional" style through CGI...
