Really interesting subject and amazing featured artists, but the documentary itself is not that great
I love 2D animation and i thought it was so cool to see all these truly amazing animators contribute in this. It's really interesting to hear about the transition from 2D to 3D animation from the animators themselves. I'm very impressed by the cast, which includes the creator(s) behind Gravity Falls, Klaus, Family Guy, as well as several classic Disney movies. They got so many amazing people star in this, a legend like Andreas Deja only got like 1 minute of screen time.
It would have been cool to hear more from 3D filmmakers to balance it out even more. I also would've loved a more thorough introduction of the animators.
The score (especially in the first half) is unfortunately incredibly bad. It was distracting at times.. I considered turning the whole thing off.
An all in all an interesting documentary, that had the potential to be really great.
