From an NY Times Op-Ed by the guy that did "Triplets of Belleville":
For many years the only successful animated movies were Disney productions aimed squarely at children � dependable moneymakers, perhaps, but nothing to make other studios salivate. Then in 1988, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" proved that adults would flock to see a movie with animation, giving a new generation of producers and movie studio executives a taste for the genre � and the money it could bring in. As a result there are two kinds of animated films today: those made by corporations and those made by humans who love the art of animation. The difference between the two is vast.Posted by Jason at February 28, 2004 09:49 AM
