...traditional animation, when computer-generated (CG) 3-D cartoons came in, the sky did fall. The first piece was Pixar, with such movies as Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. Another chunk was DreamWorks (the Shreks). And, yes, an outfit called Blue Sky fell too, with Ice Age and Robots. Hand-drawn, or 2-D, animation was instantly kaput. Chicken Little was right...
...transition from pencils to pixels hasn't been easy for the studio. Hand-drawn feature animation was an art form it created and then nurtured for six decades, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937 through the '94 smash The Lion King. Who could imagine that the empire would crumble? And why, when Disney had a distribution pact with Pixar, should the parent studio pursue CG animation? The box office answered both questions briskly: of the 10 top-grossing animated films since 1995, when Toy Story became the first computerized cartoon feature, all but one (Disney's Tarzan...
...irony was inevitable. While Olof Palme's life reflected his belief in an open society, his funeral was surrounded by the tightest security Stockholm had ever seen.

They would probably be armed with precious information--hand-drawn maps, drawings of control panels, weak spots in the site's defenses--provided by a covert comrade working inside the plant...
Well, guess what? My first lab report was seven pages long, single-spaced, and was accompanied by two illustrations done completely on the computer. Who needs hand-drawn figures when you can include high-resolution vector graphics from Adobe Illustrator outputted in EPS format for inclusion in a PostScript document? Who wants to use ordinary ol’ Microsoft Word and Excel when you can use PSTricks and LaTeX to generate book-quality pages? Who wants to spend four to eight hours cranking out this lab report when you can spend nine to fourteen hours?...
