I think we are beginning to see the start of a trend on this. Isnt there a Star Wars animation movie that just came out? Before that there was "Beowulf". I guess Producers feel its more profitable to put out animation films.... even if not as many people go see it.
I remember when I was 14 years old, I would listen to my older brothers clasical music collection. I would always listen to the same thing, Beethoven, Bach, Handle, Haydn. One day my brother suggested I listen to Mozart. So I put the vinyl on, threw on the ear phones, and started listening. I lastted maybe 3 minutes. My brother asked my what I thought, and I said that it sounded like elevator music to me. He let out a loud guffaw, and put the music back in the sleeve. By the time I was seventeen, there is no known greater composer known to me since then. "It is amazing how much smarter my parents get as I get older." nitro
Here's a topic for discussion: Woody Allen. Twenty years ago, he was highly regarded, one of the greats. Now, he doesn't even get a mention on this thread. What happened? Does he put out too much product? Is a film each year too much? I can't say I've seen any of the films he's made in the past ten years. Is he still relevant?

I made a reference to "Annie Hall" a few pages ago... his greatest film. I think he was ahead of the curve a few decades ago, but somehow got lost in the crowd as he got older.
