    Man, remember when CGI replaced animation, after animation replaced actors? It’s a real shame we don’t have actors anymore, since the moment they weren’t strictly necessary. It would’ve been so much cooler if technology simply allowed new things to exist when they’d otherwise be implausible or unfundable.

      You’re not wrong, and I think I understand your point, but what is the current balance of CGI animated movies released per year versus hand drawn and painted? Now what does film landscape look like if we applied those same release ratios to live action films?
