Don Bluth is Kickstarting a New Animated Film

[Dolphman]

The problem with 3D is that you are even more limited to what you can use when it comes to props, locations, and character models.
Garfield Show is very guilty of this, with models recycled and recoloured trying to brush them off as new characters.
For a self-aware cartoon, you'd think they'd make fun of it, but never did.
And Sonic Boom is just as bad, with one episode having cheap recolours of the same background characters, who were even recurring ones.
The main writer tried to excuse one scene featuring Knuckles with the same girl in both his arms as twins. Cue rolling eyes and faceplam.

2D animation is only nearly dead in western cinematic films. Japan, France, and Spain, still tend to have more 2D films than America. 
But there are issues with 2D, mostly being Adobe Flash, as the cartoons end up looking cheap and don't really fit TV or even film.
Canada is full of Flash animated cartoons that even Canadians hate them because of it. Man, Canadian cartoons used to be interesting.
French series, Wakfu gets a pass because they do put effort in animating it, going as far as bringing in guest animators from anime studios.

As cool as Don Bluth is. I'm a bit sad, as they only have nine days left and $189,399 so far. He made some great animated movies.
Too bad most of them suffered from meddling by studios, ending up with guilty pleasures and huge disappointments even he's ashamed of.
