Nostalgia can be infatuation. They did the best though could then. And those who care are doing the best they can now. You could make the same dismissive comment about any art.

Harlan Ellison once said he'd like to try "story telling" as a television program. Just a mid shot of him reading from his works. He could probably have pulled it off.

It would be a sacrilege to redo it in Pixar. Kind of like redoing the Mona Lisa using a paint by the numbers kit. One of my first dates with my future wife was to go to the Museum of Modern Art and see a retrospect of Disney work. A lot of Peter Ellenshaw's matte paintings (The island from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, the sky AND the London street from the opening of Mary Poppins. But one that got me was a long panel from Pinocchio. You remember the "Hi Diddlee Dee," song, Pinocchio, Honest John, and the Cat are walking down a street, they turn a corner and go up another street. They painted the turn! If you look at the whole cell, it actually changes perspective in the middle of the painting, so when they animated it, it LOOKED like the camera was going around a corner!
