If the remake of pic related uses 3DCG instead of 2D then

And by "dead" you mean dominating yearly box office like no other studio in movie history, right?

>>90753490
It's using real people you mong. It's also a sequel not a remake, so there's no guarantee it will even have animated portions.

>>90753490
You're acting like Disney's creative death is a new thing

I can't wait for the epic dubstep remake of supercalifragilistic song.

Illumination must be a house of artistic integrity too

>so there's no guarantee it will even have animated portions.
You really think people would've cared about Mary Poppins if it didn't have animated segments?
A live action movie with 2D thrown in would stick out really well these days, everyone and their mother uses CG with live action now.

Yeah, they are reduced to making the films people want to pile into theaters to see.
What a pitiful condition.
Why their miserable studio almost generated as much box office attendance as the #2 (WB) and #3 (Fox) studios combined.

Illumination/Universal is a respectable #4, they are doing fine as a company.

WB had TWICE the movies in theaters Disney had in 2016, and only generated 63% of Disney's ticket sales.

That's not too great.

I'm not talking success retard, no shit they're successful. Disney goddamn owns everything and has enough money to colonize a galaxy. That's why it doesn't make sense why they neglect 2D animation.

Let me explain it to you simply then, since you seem to need a simple explanation.

2D theatrical animation is a dying, niche market. Just like Laika's stop-motion work. It's a medium reserved for cheap television, even the Japs will give it up sooner rather than later.

It's kinda like how Boeing doesn't try to make the finest piston engine airplanes.

It's dying because:
> Disney flubbed up by releasing Winnie the Pooh, a film that only has preschooler appeal, on the same weekend as the final Harry Potter
>The success of Shrek compared to Dreamworks more passionate 2D projects lead to them shifting to 3D

I guarantee you if Disney made a new 2D movie with mass appeal, marketed it hell and back it would be a huge success and if they kept on doing that the rest of the industry would follow

Yes. 5 out of a 140 minute movie was partially animated. The whole movie is considered a cinematic classic
