newsreel trend animation:

taking matters into our own hands From storybooks to animated films, people have always had a knack for communicating their interpretations of the world via handcrafted images and characters. But as technology becomes more advanced, we are increasingly replacing our hands with computers. With this movement away from the original craft it is argued that certain stylistic traits of animation are being lost. Instead of seeing the dreamlike and wistful penciled figures of the past (imagine the first Disney release of Snow White) we are seeing very real-world constructions of animated figures that are digitally-generated through a process of documenting human movements, sounds and characteristics.
