The over saturation of 3D animation.

3D animation has a specific look to it, that cannot be denied. And now studios like Pixar, Disney Animation, Illumination, and DreamWorks are all releasing similar looking pieces of works. Sure, the character design might be unique to the specific world the studio is creating, but it’s still has a 3D animated feel to it. And do not get me wrong, that is not a bad thing 3D animation is only getting better with time as technology advances to add more detail and texture to characters on screen. But is this style of animation in danger? Could audience get tired of seeing the same aesthetic in animation over and over again? Could this open up a gap in the market for 2Dlookinganimation? 

            I think that it will. Spider-Man into the Spider Verse is a great example. It’s a 3D animated film with a new aesthetic look to it. This film stands out a on its animation style alone. In my review of the film I called it a 3D/2D hybrid. In many scenes it obvious that its animation base is 3D, but layers are added to give it a flat dimension look to it. Hard to explain but easy to see in the theater. I believe that movies like this that put in the time and effort to make their films look aesthetically unique, will rise in popularity with audience. This in return will open the door for 3D animated films to adapt a 2D look to them. To me that is the only way that 2D animation will ever come back.
