This alone is proof that we don’t need to go all-in on one type of animation format. Lasseter’s passion for these films, primarily directed by Hayao Miyazaki, is impressive enough that he’s basically the only reason why movies such as Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away get released in the United States at all. Whatever guff I may give him for the two Cars movies, Pixar poobah John Lasseter has done a major favor to North American audiences by introducing them to the works of Studio Ghibli, Japan’s answer to Pixar or Walt Disney Feature Animation.

Computer animation can be as immersive and imaginative as hand-drawn animation, but because it’s new and flashy, movie studios gravitate toward it and ignore something that’s seen as old and obsolete. I am one of the biggest boosters for Pixar Animation Studios alive I’m not a complete apologist, as I can’t defend the Cars movies outside of their photorealistic animation, but I love their other films. There are so many different aspects of the moviegoing experience I could rant about here-the price of tickets, the price of concessions, the way some people treat the movie theater like their living room-but I’d like to focus on something specific to animation in the 21 st century: moving away from hand-drawn, two-dimensional animation. But that doesn’t stop me from getting frustrated.
In the grand scheme of things, of course, getting frustrated about how a movie is presented or created is but a drop in the ocean of problems in the world. Yes, I know, I’m writing this article for a film website, and arguably, none of the other writers here and you consider cinema frivolous. As such, I get grouchy about frivolous things, such as cinema and its presentation. I imagine I’m not the only one, of course you, dear reader, may feel like you’ve become twice as crotchety as your friends well before you reach the period of your life when shouting “Get off my lawn!” to neighborhood kids is appropriate and expected.
