Disney and other big studios closed their 2D animation divisions by the late 1990s/early 2000s. Like many other companies, Disney decided to go for the most profitable and trendy option. I wouldn’t say that it was a good choice because this did lead them to make one of their most successful movies, Toy Story, but believing that 2D animated projects wouldn’t bring them profit or benefit wasn’t exactly right. Disney Channel’s Gravity Falls is one of the most believed animated shows that proves Disney wrong about 2D films. Other shows like Family Guy and The Owl House are 2D films, yet they gained major popularity and appreciation from their audience.
