Aesthetic limitations of 2D Animation
Working only in two planes can have some limitations. J.K Riki posts the idea that 2D to the viewer seems less relatable, when we quotes ''simply that 3D animation is more real'' (J.K Riki, 2015). Riki notes an interesting point, considering that animation is clearly not real life. It is a limitation of the medium then that perhaps the viewer is too disassociated with the visual to connect to the story or narrative. This relates to another limitation of 2D that perhaps Riki was touching on: that 2D can sometimes seem boring. Without that extra plane or the tactile qualities of stop motion, 2D can be less dynamic and visually satisfying, which arguably is true for the production process but too for the viewer. The popularity of 3D feature films compared to 2D in industry currently is a reflection of this. For example, the 2018 Oscars with three of the five nominated films for 'Best Animated Feature' were CGI, hinting towards the decline in its practice and favourability.
