I know most people (especially pro-Disney people) don't tend to trust Jim Hill, but he is a person that has many contacts within the animation community. Tho, Lasseter, as I've stated before was looking for ways to bring 2D animation to Pixar for a couple years and now that he will better options open to him, I see Disney within the next couple years greenlighting a couple 2D features. The only issue I see with the article is that the article talks about James Baxter doing animation for this film.....Baxter left Disney with a major chip on his shoulder. People close to him have said that he really doesn't like Disney at all anymore and really had no interest of ever returning. Also, if this "Enchanted" movie is supposed to come out...it's going to take longer than a year to do the animation parts of it. Of course, it also depends on the ratio of animation to live action. If it's a 75% live action - 25% animation ratio (kinda like Mary Poppins), then it might not be a problem....I do see Baxters involvement in the movie to be an issue tho. It shall be interesting.
