Animation has come a long way.

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2005)

As the two Disney animator's said, "That's the way you do it!" From the hugely lackluster offerings of Disney since Snow White, Cinderella, Fantasia, etc. until my hopes arose with "The Secret of Nimh", which flopped. Then the Disney offerings that had no life, cardboard backdrops, color that did not live, characters that made no sense. The only reason I saw "Beauty and the Beast" was because someone else paid for it and I still felt it was too expensive for me. There was no background to enrich the wonderful story, same with Mulan. In short, Steve Jobs, who grew up on excellence instills it in his people, and like Walt, will not let them stagnate. I hope Jobs never loses Pixar, they need him.
