| I don't like any of the stuff Disney has come out with this decade either, but I just detest Pixar. The Princess and the Frog is the only thing I liked--it was a refreshing change. |

I've always loved the originality of the concepts and characters in Pixar's stories! I actually find their characters to have more dimension that some of Disney's films, and their concepts aren't redone fairy-tales.
Although I must say I do enjoy the redone fairy tales. I'm psyched for "Tangled!!!" |

Pixar's movies and characters are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than anything Disney has come out with in the past 10 years just on stories alone before you even bring in how they were presented  |

I think CG as it was used in Aladdin and BATB ( and I think there was even a bit in The Little Mermaid with the stairs ) is alright, but all these new Pixar movies are really bugging me. They have shoddy stories and people still like them. The characters are blatantly two-dimensional ( yeah, terrible joke  ) and really to me aren't as deep or easy to relate to as those in Disney's hand-drawn animated masterpieces. |

| Yes, because everyone else was CAPS colored |

| So... hand drawn, CGI colored? |

I am too. I was using that as an example of IF they made Carpet CGI since the only real difference/way to tell would be the tassels, and if you are really good, the outline himself.  |

| I'm quite certain the tassels were hand-drawn. The only part of Carpet that was CGI was the pattern - this being because all that detail would have been much, much, much too darned difficult to do by hand. |

| Yes I believe Carpet was the first use of CGI combined with handdrawn animation. Before the crews only used it for backgrounds like the ballroom in Beauty or the inside of Big Ben in Basil. |

Yeah, but Carpet is not a CGI character . The CoW is, but the only thing CGI on Carpet is his design. He's still a 2-D character; those lines we see are not created on the computer.
But this is also why if they did make Carpet completely CGI, you really cannot tell unless you look at the tassels, or have a tassel fetish . |
ALRIGHT, he's not a CGI character, but he does have CGI elements in him.  That was my point. Wasn't it a first in animation? The CoW was CGI, but still, he's not as widely-talked about as Carpet is for his animation. |

No, no. Carpet's design is CGI; he himself is hand drawn 
As for Genie being CGI, it wouldn't be the first time. They did it for the Disneyland commercial last year along with Iago. As long as they don't go around having him along with everyone else CGI ALL the time, then I can live. |
Okay, yes, I knew that Carpet was hand-drawn for a good part of his animation. I just knew that it was a big deal to have a CGI character in an animated movie, especially since he fit in so well.
And I did see Genie as CGI... and I did not like it AT ALL. Animated Genie all the way. |

| Oh, see I thought he was talking about that Genie he made for that exhibit in Disneyland in Tokyo (or somewhere over there) and then the 3-D characters in the commercial in general. Him talking about both would make more sense, though |

I think that's the CGI Genie that he was talking about.  |

Also, The Cave of Wonders head was CGI, but Eric provided 2D references for it.
As some might suggest, the one can not live without the other. 2D animators cannot go without knowing 3D and vice versa. |
