Very interesting and so many throwaway lines that could easily be entire blog posts by themselves!

I wonder how hamstrung Disney is by their chosen animation style (wide-eyed cutesy characters, rounded edges, bright colours). Given the technical prowess on display here, what could they create if they gave their artists free rein to experiment like in Love, Death, and Robots? Or is it more that these constraints provide structure to work inside?

People are already working for years on Zootopia 2 and every one of their technolical advances were driven by that movie.

These inventions are represented at Siggraph and are often also research paper and land in the whole ecosystem (in software like hudini).

LDR live from their ideas and stories and experiments with styles. I don't think its relevant for technology it would just be a tech demo.

constraints breed creativity.
