Which do you prefer...vintage or modern animation?

[Wonderlicious]

I was just wondering this; what type of animation do you prefer the most? Vintage (pre 1980) or Modern (post 1980)? And there's no "I like both as much as each other" option...

...personally, I prefer vintage animation. That's not to say that I don't like modern animation (I adore anything Pixar, along with The Simpsons, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid etc), but I think that vintage animation wins out just a little bit, as more masterpieces seem to lie there. From Looney Tunes and Silly Symphonies to Swing Shift Cinderella and Pinocchio, vintage animation wins for me.

Post 1980. Especially in the past 15 years. The artwork is a lot cleaner, the lines are smoother... It looks a lot nicer to me.

Same here. Or maybe I'm just jaded.

If I had to choose 1....I'd say vintage.

Cinderella, Snow White, Pinnochio, Fantasia and other films just had these MOMENTS that you can't compare with anything that came after...1970. Even though Beauty and the Beast comes close (with the death/resurrection of the Beast scene), we haven't seen anything quite like that since Walt's time.

Uh, you call pre-1980 "vintage"? Hoo boy. You must be a youngster. I'm just in my 30s, but...

I'll vote vintage, but by that I mean pre-1950!
