At the very least, you'll get eye-rolls from them. Just make sure not to make this mistake around animation fans. However, because of Don Bluth becoming a household name in the animation community, it's still common for people to believe that all non-Disney 2D-animated films were made by him instead. This is also due to many films such as The Secret of NIMH and The Iron Giant gaining cult followings and being recognized as some of the best animated films, largely even considered contenders to Disney in quality. So a sub-trope of this could be "All CG Animation is Pixar or DreamWorks".Īs being an animation fan as an adult becomes less stigmatised, this trope is beginning to die off. If it shares DreamWorks' tendency towards subversive or referential humor, chances are it'll get mistaken for one of their films. The other guys (such as Blue Sky Studios, Illumination Entertainment or Sony Pictures Animation). On the CGI front, DreamWorks has become a big enough name in its own right that their films rarely get mistaken for Pixar's anymore. Since Disney's most famous movies are traditionally animated films, this usually applies to traditionally animated movies. However, this can be muddied somewhat when studios strike up unanticipated strange licensing agreements - for example, Disney having the broadcast rights for Thomas & Friends in Asia, and between 20, somehow also ended up with the distribution and broadcast rights for DreamWorks movies in certain regions, creating a very bizarre scenario where Shrek and Over the Hedge were screened on Disney Channel Asia (and in the case of Japan, a double whammy where The Penguins of Madagascar screened on Disney Channel Japan because they no longer have a Nickelodeon feed in the country, in addition to DreamWorks' said agreement with Disney). Though it seems easy to distinguish when doing the bare minimum of research, Disney uses Vanity Plates on its work, and so do the other big-name animation studios. Disney also releases films not made by a Disney animation studio, such as The Brave Little Toaster, and handles international distribution of some bigger-name foreign animators, most notably the works of Studio Ghibli (prior to GKids buying out the distribution rights to the majority of the latter's backlog). One critical reason is Don Bluth, responsible for taking that style with him when he left Disney, using it in his films with other studios and making that line more blurred if you're not paying closer attention than looking and assuming. Remember, though, that Disney is the market leader in animated movies, and so it's understandable that rival animation studios follow trends set by the Disney Animated Canon (including Disneyfication). ![]() Some people go so far as to believe that Disney invented animation, which isn't true either: Walt was still in junior high school when Gertie the Dinosaur was released (though he did release the first feature-length hand-drawn cartoon, namely Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs). Who (aside from fans of animation) wants to tell these people that there's more than one animation studio out there? Small Reference Pools might play a role here, as well. This is possibly a side effect of the Animation Age Ghetto, as people are led to believe that not only are all cartoons for kids, but they're all made by the same kid-friendly company. ![]() Sadly, many people in Real Life believe that, if it's a quality animated feature film, it was made by Disney. Wait, what do you mean that last one doesn't belong? It's not Disney? Don't be ridiculous, only Disney could produce animation of that quality! ![]() Such wonderful movies to be found in it: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Swan Princess.
