are hollywood studios making to many animated movies response

I was well aware that it cost a lot of money to produce and direct a movie but was I was blissfully unaware  that some of my favorite movies like the "Iron Giant" was actually  responsible for layoffs in its company. Second I was also unaware of the massive amount of animated of animated films coming out around the same time, its just something you notice until someone points it out. Third I didn't know that Disney's "plains" was originally set to be released straight to DVD or that they were planning to create a sequel.

I'm not all that surprised that the movie business over extended themselves on something like animated films they would be generally cheaper than doing live action, and they all go through video edition any way so making a movie purely on the computer just makes more sense. I was also relieved to her that animation is not going anywhere, I mean mans gotta eat right.

My only question would be who else will jump on this animated movie band wagon so to speak.
