Animation is serious bizness
Please remember that these are grown men, some are old enough to your father and should be shown respect due to their years of experience and wisdom.

Over on the AWN forums Mr Mankind starts by posing a controversial question and softening the impact with his post Is 2D animation basically dead?.

It all starts nice and polite on the first page (I’m in there with my 2 cents). The discussion gets interesting and a good debate gets going on page 2.

On page 3 it gets serious. Mr Mankind is bemused by the reaction to his thoughts.

DrSpectre start to show his angst. As far as I'm concerned, 2D is a back-stabbing industry where ass-kissing skills combined with the ability to produce predictably mediocre results on a deadline will get you "in". Not a happy bunny.

We have a possible flounce.

Ken needing lip gloss was spotted here.

Mr Mankind posts some more cartoons that weren’t his. It’s total WWIII on page 6 before the moderator comes in and locks the post for further posting.

It’s short and so sweet.

Never mind – we have The Poll.

I just hope I don’t get banned for posting this.

CG/2D blends can work, if they don't do the whole LOOK CG YAY. I think Treasure Planet pulled it off beautifully with Silver (not so much with the backgrounds though)
I used to be all '2D is bestest, down with CG' over my animation, and while I prefer working on 2D myself, now whatever I watch doesn't bother me as long as it's done nicely. Because bad animation hurts everybody.
