Similarly, with the rise of Disney came other animation houses that gave fans alternative spins on the Disney formula. Throughout Disney's domination of 2D, its house style changed with the passing decades from heavy rotoscoping (such as Snow White), flat Xeroxed cel animation (a process that defined the look of Disney films in the '60s such as 101 Dalmatians and Robin Hood all the way up to the '80s Oliver and Company), and what we consider the classic look of the Disney Renaissance from the late '80s to 2000, as showcased in The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, The Lion King all the way up to Tarzan. ![]() Despite its age, perhaps 3D animation still isn't old enough to have developed into offshoots of different styles and phases. It's the fault of those who feel like there's only one way a successful 3D movie can look and feel. So, the state of 3D movies isn't the fault of the technical application itself. (Let's not also overlook that 99% of the cast of characters in these films are all white, adding to the sameness.) This same polished slickness is something that's carried over to Dreamworks, Illumination Entertainment, and even Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's home studio Sony, despite Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania being films that actually embraced the limitlessness of animation as a storytelling medium. ![]()
