Disney finally gives up on 2D animation

A long time in the making, but Disney finally shut down the last of its 2D animation studios.

On the one hand, this is kinda sad. On the other, they hadn't produced anything worthwhile in quite some time. So I don't feel like we're really losing anything.

This doesn't mean hand-drawn animation is dead, of course. There are a now a lot of creative young animators out there who have been cut loose from corporate strictures. Of course, most of them will go work at Walmart or McDonalds, but one or two might get it in their heads to actually create something amazing.
