(The Channel Awesome logo and NC title sequence play)
NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. In the profitable world of animation, there's a battle going on between hand-drawn and CG.
(The words "HAND DRAWN" are displayed. Then, to a "ta-da!" sound, a huge dollar sign with the words "CG WINS" written on it, falls out of the sky and crushes them)
NC: Okay, maybe not a battle, but a conversation: which one is better?
(A clip of an episode of SpongeBob Squarepants is shown)
NC (vo): First off, let's clarify the difference. Hand-drawn, or 2D, animation...
(Cut then to an animator working on Aladdin, flipping through various pieces of paper like a flipbook, showing animation of Aladdin and the Genie)
NC (vo): ...is a series of drawings given motion by quickly displaying one after another.
(Cut to a clip of The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run)
NC (vo): Computer-generated, or 3D, animation is the same idea, except it's not drawn...
(Cut to an animator working on Frozen, using the computer, with hand-drawn sketches displayed off to the side for reference)
NC (vo): ...but rather created in the computer. So you don't have to draw every single frame; you can just put all your energy into one model and move it as you please.
NC: Both of these are amazing art forms, have changed the way people look at cinema, and are a buttload of work.
(Footage of the original animated versions of Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King are shown, as well as clips from TV shows including The Powerpuff Girls, ReBoot, Gravity Falls, DuckTales (2017), and clips from recent Disney films including Toy Story 4 and the live-action remake of The Lion King)
NC (vo): However, where hand-drawn animation used to be the dominant art form in both film and television, CG slowly worked its way in and eventually took over. While hand-drawn is far from being extinct, it's no question CG is being utilized far, far more.
