It was actually a compiling number of factors that essentially killed major studio produced 2d films in America. It's important to note multiple independent 2D films are produced in the US and that Europe, Latin America, and Canada all still produce Major full length 2D features.
Essentially Disney, Warner, Fox, and Dreamworks saw a huge number of financial losses in the 2D Animation market all around the same time. This was due to a myriad of factors. Viacom had essentially oversaturated the Market with Multiple films based on their Televised Animated Series such as Rugrats, Beavis and Butthead, and The Wild Thornberries the early success of which led to Disney doing the same. It didn't help that many of the 2D films were of lower quality even those with astounding budgets. On top of that 2d films were becoming more and more expensive and complex with the integration of CG elements to create moving backgrounds and side characters making losses far more financially unacceptable.
While this was happening Dreamworks, Pixar, and Blue Sky saw major success with 3D animated films such as Toy Story, Shrek, and Ice Age which saw major profits for their distributers at Dreamworks, Disney, and Fox respectively.
In a period of about 5 years four of the six major motion picture companies saw major financial losses because of 2D animated features and saw three tiny studios produce multi million dollar pictures with this new form of animation. It really wasn't that surprising that these studios decided to close down their 2D divisions and then buyout or build their own 3D animation departments.
To be fair Disney did their best to keep 2D animation alive. They were producing 2D features up until 2005 when all other studios had already given up the artform completely a few years prior. Hell take a look at their canned productions and you'll see multiple projects that further pushed 2d and 3d integration as a means to keep traditional animation alive but it was too late
>Toy Story, Antz, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Dinosaur, Shrek, Monsters Inc, Jimmy Neutron, Ice Age, Finding Nemo
These 1995-2003 computer generated films played a role in that. Especially the Pixar ones and Shrek.
>Pixar releases their first film with a human cast/directed by an outsider (The Incredibles), Zemeckis releases his animation debut (The Polar Express) and Dreamworks releases the highest grossing animation film ever at the time (Shrek 2) plus the first western CG film to be negatively received (Shark Tale)
and then 2004 happened. That was an interesting year.
I've had two girlfriends that were obsessed with this movie, I have no idea what part of it is so appealing to women. The soundtrack was the only thing I remembered about it
No TV movies and 3D animation did.
yes
no, Disney did.
No pixar did

"Adventure Boy" animated movies do not draw major box office, so Disney stopped making them.
Princess

Boy.
It's simple economics, what sells tickets vs what doesn't.
>Ignores that Aladdin and Lion King Exist
Anon are you fricking stupid?
Those don't fit with his thesis and thus aren't Adventure boy movies because, and I quote directly from his next post;
>Mumblemumbleshutup

I've had two girlfriends that were obsessed with this movie, I have no idea what part of it is so appealing to women. The soundtrack was the only thing I remembered about it

The sailing aesthetic in space was really creative
And the daddy issues with Jim and Silver
