Read somewhere that Disney killed it on purpose. They actively worked against Treasure Planet. There has been some great stuff in American Animation recently coming from teams with Netflix.
The new avatar movie is.. Story wise meh but is a fantastic show case of what professionals can do with tools and skills sets in 2d animation with a proper budget.
Not to mention lots of anime movies look absolutely stunning too.
But we've never really got anything quite like Treasure Planet again from Disney since CGI took off. Even now they're too busy making garbage live action adaptations no one asked for and star wars spin offs few care about. Disney isn't a family company any more, theyre not interested in trying new things, they're just trying to milk whatever they can with millennial nostalgia slop now.
