You need to face the truth

nah

What can you do with a sheet of paper, paint, and pencils that you can't do with a computer?

create a physical piece of artwork without buying a printer?

Let's say Disney tried to animate Cars in 2D.traditional animation using a team of 500 artists. Let's also say the running time is one hour and 55 minutes. If they decided to make each frame photorealistic and spend 30 hours making each frame, it would take them 6,696,000 man-hours to make 223,200 frames. Dvide 6,696,000 by 500, and you get 13,392 hours per person. If each person works 8 hours a day and 5 days a week (excluding holidays), the movie could be completed in six or seven years. And that's not including work that doesn't involve animation, such as script writing, voice recording, and editing.

But what if 30 hours isn't enough time to make a photorealistic painting? What if each frame requires 100 hours? (I say that because the example I gave you was in black and white.) Then the film could take over two decades to animate with a team of 500 artists.

i feel like that's kinda subjective though
like everyone has different opinions on what thye think looks great

Why do people hate images that look so detailed and colorful and lifelike and realistic? I just don't get it.

Each physical piece of artwork only makes up one frame of a movie. Each second of a movie has 24 frames. Each minute of a movie has 1440 frames. For a 90-minute movie, that's a grand total of 129,600 frames.

When Disney made the traditionally animated Sleeping Beauty back in 1959, it took them ten years to make a movie that takes an hour and 15 minutes to watch. Fast forward to 2006, when Disney and Pixar made Cars using computet animation, and it took them only two and a half years to make a movie that takes an hour and 55 minutes to watch. Not only does computer animation allow you to produce longer animated movies in shorter timeframes, it produces higher-quality visuals with more colors, easier rotation, and more believable water and transparent objects.

It is possible to make photorealistic paintings without computers, but it takes an insanely long time, around 30 hours for a sibgle frame.
