What happened to 2D Animation?

If you enjoy a good animated film, such as I, then you have probably noticed the lack of 2D animation in the past few years.
I mean sure when you go to the store you might see a 2D animated superhero movie, but what you won't see is that movie in theaters.
3D animation has abruptly taken over the theaters with it's more simplistic style of animation. Gone are the days of hand drawn films, or just 2D made on a computer.
Don't get me wrong, I do like 3D films, it's just that the artistic style just can't match the pure beauty of 2D, for example lets take two examples of animation from Disney. First off the 3D animation style:

It's from a pretty popular film that you've heard of, and you may be thinking, alright that's pretty good, but wait let's compare it to some older 2D animation from Disney:

Now, you tell me which you think is better? I know that there is some CGI in the 2D one, but it still is the point that it is 2D.
There's just something about 2D that I miss, and I would like to see recaptured. It's a shame that it's not as popular as it once was in cinema. But hey, give me your thoughts in the comments, I want to know what you think about 2D and 3D.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold. I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
