Robert Zemeckis is the guy who convinced the other directors to go full CG.

James Cameron will bring stereoscopic 3D CG by force into your home with
3D full HD televisions.
Hope "standard-definition retards" will jump on the train this time.

I would have tough that with the democratization of 3dcg to the masses,
there would be quality productions (animations) by amateurs.
To this day, it's still not the case, only big studios produces some
decent result (most of them not).
Is 3Dcg too difficult compared to stop motion or hand drawing?
Is the youth too lazy or impatient to invest the time in making a short
animation?
There was more 3D cg animation 10 years ago by amateur than now.
All we see is an object rotating, 1 GI image, one walk cycle.
All these magnificent software + fast computers for nothing, only test
rig, test rendering, test material, test ...
Is 3D animation only for big studios?
Will Pixar make a movie one day with a decent story and interesting
characters?
Common Pixar, reading the RIB standard is more interesting than the
story of your movies.
Even I have not produced anything decent since 1994. 3D cg was the
promised land.
Photorealism has raised the bar too high for anyone to attempt animation.
Animation doesn't need to look real. Avatar does not look real, it looks
better than reality.
