Pixar Question

Why are hand-drawn animation and stop-motion animation still dead?

How come people have lost interest in hand-drawn animation and stop-motion animation? John Lasseter has always said that Story is the most important part of a film; not its art form.
But many people are very blind to realize that. It bugs me that the whole audience is so fickle. In the early 2000s, people begged and begged Disney to give them a hand-drawn animated film and when Disney did, the audience blew them off. When Disney gave them the Princess and the Frog, everybody went to see Avatar instead. And when Disney gave them Winnie the Pooh, everybody went to see Harry Potter or worse the Smurfs instead. Additionally, the audience kept giving Disney mixed ideas whether they want a princess film or not.
Seriously, before Princess and the Frog and Tangled:
people-"No more CGI! We want disney princesses!"
Disney-"Ok!"
After Princess and the Frog and Tangled:
people-"we don't princesses anymore! Our girls want to be like Lindsey Lohan!"
Disney-"WTF!?!"
See, what's wrong here? What gives?

Well from what i understand hand-drawn animation costs quite a large amount of money, so making one today would cost even more than id did back in the glory days (Disney's glory days). I thought that the Princess and the frog and Tangled are both very well done movies that are enjoyed by anybody who is a true Disney fan, if parents want Disney, they need to look what is right in front of them.

Yes, I remembered what you said about hand-drawn animation being more expensive than CGI. I suppose Disney doesn't have enough money to invest in a hand-drawn animated film yet.

I know what you mean. At first, they complained about Disney movies being too scary (like Pinnochio, The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Now they are complaining about how Disney is too sugar-coated.

I agree with John Lasseter. It's not about the animation quality, it's about the story. I never judge movies based on animation. I think it's quite silly to argue over animation style, to be quite honest.

i honestly know how that feels when Disney brought us Home on the Range in 2004 i wanted to go see it but i didn't get to instead i saw Van Helsen Shrek 2 and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban it would have been much worse if i had to go see Team America World Police which didn't happen!
