I have to disagree with that statement. For Disney to make a high profit film, it does not matter whether it is in CG or traditional, black & white or color. It does not matter what the medium is. What does matter is that it
has to be a musical. Disney is known for their musicals. Think of the most popular Disney movies (TLK, Aladdin, Snow White, Cinderella, Peter Pan (to an extent), Pocahontas, Hunchback, Mulan, Hercules, BatB, TLM, etc)....all were musicals in which there was a princess-like figure & prince-like figure with an evil villain and some type of side kick. Some call that a formula, but hey, it worked for for 60 sixty years. Now let's look at WDFA's less popular films.... Sword in the Stone, Aristocats, The Rescuers, Brother Bear,e tc. All strayed from that formula and were no where near as popular as the other films. Now yes, there were a few films that broke that rule (Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch and Home on the Range come to mind), but for the most part, that formula ruled. So it is my opinion that for Disney to make film everybody loves again, they need a musical with a princess-like figure, prince-like figure, evil villain and funny sidekick.
I do enjoy cgi, but it can't last on it's own forever.
Why not? People said that same thing about color movies and movies with sound.
