"John Lasseter has suggested that 2D animation became a scapegoat for poor movies. The chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios told The Daily Telegraph that the hand-drawn style of the upcoming The Princess And The Frog is &amp;quot;timeless&amp;quot;. Lasseter said: &amp;quot;I never understood why Disney and other studios thought that audiences weren&amp;#039;t interested in watching hand-drawn animation anymore. &amp;quot;Because of the success of our films at Pixar and other things, I think they decided, &amp;#039;Oh, people just want to watch computer animation&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;But part of me was thinking that didn&amp;#039;t make any sense because the computer is just the tool, in the same way that the pencil is, or, with live-action filmmaking, the way the camera is. &amp;quot;You never hear of a live-action studio that has been making so-so films looking over at a studio that&amp;#039;s making great movies and going, &amp;#039;Oh, we see the difference - we&amp;#039;re using a different camera&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;It seemed 2D animation became the scapegoat for bad storytelling.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Video: New &amp;#039;Princess And The Frog&amp;#039; trailer "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
