I am not against cartoon films - I actually prefer your actual old school Disney and Warner Brothers stuff, but they do feel the same each year when they are shown, and very little has changed in the last decade. CGI seems to be modernisation for modernisation's sake.
It's a pity that Disney won't really allow broadcasters to show a lot of their cartoon films such as Snow White instead of limiting it to cinemas and on video and DVD - even if they are under a 70 year rule or something. It took 45 years for Dumbo to be shown, and 73 years for Fantasia to be shown on TV. I have a feeling that Walt Disney hated the idea of television which he probably thought would dilute the way we would view films.
I am now in my 40s (just in case anyone asks).
