Ah yes the world of animation! Where drawings come to life and live and breath freely in their own worlds and words. However, which is better, computer animation or hand drawn animation? I believe it all depends on the beholder as both Traditional and CGI animation have their own strengths and weaknesses.
On one hand, Traditional animation trumps over CGI as being not only the forerunner of animation as we know it, but also more classical in its approach. Also, it shapes to our common perceptions of what animation is and what it consists of in the field of art.
As for CGI, the advantages it has over Traditional animation is the fact that computer technology is increasing becoming more available enabling animation to become more life like in its applications. Another advantage CGI has over Traditional animation is that CGI reduces the amount of paper used in animation, therefore reducing the demand for wood to create paper.
In closing, which is more prefable: Traditional animation or CGI? Well that all entirely depends on those who admire animation for its entertainment value. In fact, there have been animated mediums which have used both forms of animation with no problems whatsoever.The information party rocks on: Paramount launches Paramount Animation, first CGI film coming in 2014
