Disney seems the Acme to me. It is the first place most of us think about when we think animation. I never imagined that I could ever work there. As a 2D artist who considers animation from time to time Disney is the company I want to ask. Is there a future in animation. Is the area expanding or shrinking. Is 2D animation in particular or any kind of animation , a particularly marketable skill anymore?
