Disney and other big studios stopped making 2D animated movies in the late 1990s and early 2000s because 3D animation, like in Toy Story and Shrek, was becoming more popular and successful. Some 2D movies didn’t make enough money, and studios thought audiences liked 3D better. They also saw 3D as faster and cheaper to make. While 3D animation brought amazing new movies, 2D’s unique style and charm were unfairly pushed aside. Today, 2D animation is still alive in some TV shows. Movies like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse even mix 2D and 3D, proving it still has a place in modern animation.
