Bricks in Motion
We are a friendly filmmaking community devoted to the art of stop-motion animation using LEGO® and similar construction toys. Here, you can share your work, join our community of other brickfilmers, and participate in periodic animation contests!
A place to discuss, share, and create stop motion films.

Personally, I like 3D over any 2D stuff. I might make a few 2D things sometimes and they are sometimes fun to watch but they're getting a little old for me. 3D seems more cinematic and real when I watch it. Whereas a hand drawn or any 2D...you know it was drawn by someone and it's a little kid's thing.

Wrong.
Well I guess I can say that I like the computer 2D stuff than the cartoons drawn on paper.

Have you ever watched Looney Tunes, or Animaniacs, or The Simpsons, or Futurama? If you have, then I don't see how you can say that. If you haven't, then you are really missing out.
It's viewpoints like yours that allowed (shudder shudder) Hanna-Barbera to dominate animated television in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, and allowed Looney Tunes to disappear for almost 20 years.
Well, when your brickfilming, unless you shoot in 3D, you might still be using 3D figures (Minifigs) but it still turns out in your standard 2D format. What I am saying is in the video, the animation is not three-demensional. So, if 2D is dead, brickfilming is dead.
My point has been made.

That's like saying watching Toy Story in 2D makes it 2D animation. No, brickfilms are 3D animation because the minifigs are three-dimensional.

2D here (in this thread) meaning hand-drawn or Flash animation. 3D meaning CGI or stop-motion. And your point was incorrect. Brickfilming can be done in 3D; you just need two really small cameras.
I have yet to see a genuine 3D Brickfilm (although, it would be pretty interesting to see if it works with LEGO).
And I thought Stop Motion was an entirely different thing? I mean - its not replacing 2D. If anything, 3D is replacing stop motion...

Wrong.
One word: Spongebob.
Also, it's very popular in Japan and stuff with their anime, etc.
And that Princess Frog movie came out recently too.
I don't think 2D will be dead for a while.
The Lion King 3D was released yesterday. It earned $8,825,000 USD in ONE DAY.

(On a sad note, Winnie the Pooh made only a little over 33 million worldwide as of this post. Disney declared it a flop.)
Makes me wonder how Disney execs are going to react to this one.
Being in 3D and being The Lion King are two completely different things.
Also: with a budget of 30 mil., declaring Winnie-the-Pooh a flop is completely understandable, considering the reputation behind both Winnie-the-Pooh and Disney Animation.

Meh, yeah. I can kinda see it that way.
Re-releases don't always do so well at the box office though.
I was hoping that when Beauty and the Beast is re-released in 3D (and if it does well at the box office),
perhaps this will be a valid argument for the cause of 2D animation. And, Disney execs might give it a chance without abandoning it's original bread & butter.
I don't think 2d is dead at all. To me it can be much more personal than 3d - but maybe thats just me?
Also, like somebody already has pointed out, all the great japanese toons are in 2d and they look great!
