At the moment, none are planned. That's part of why Keane left.

They still have merchandise for Princess and the Frog! And I've seen Tiana doing picture-taking sessions at Walt Disney World.

I hope that rereleasing The Lion King and Beauty And The Beast will teach them that there's still money in it.
Hope seconded!

And hopefully they'll market them better...

Winnie the Pooh didn't see a massive marketing campaign but ... I can't be the only person who hated that song until they used it in the adverts.

Uh dude? Do you not get out or something? I see Tiana all the time on Princess merchandise. I liked Princess and the Frog and really hope we end up seeing some more hand drawn animated stuff.

You know, I read on some sources that Disney executives think The Princess and the Frog flopped because boys didn't want to see it, but in reality, it made a lot of money at the box office.
Mr. Dr.
Definitely so, if John Lasseter has anything to say about it.

I guess Execs just have their expectations. Geez, how do Disney execs think? Are they particularly unique compared to say, Nickelodeon or Warner Bros execs?

Even though The Princess And The Frog did make money, it didn't make as much as Disney is used to these things making. High expectations will do that to you, I guess. 
If it had been a 'flopping' CGI movie, they wouldn't stop planning CGI movies. But since it was a 'flop' hand drawn movie, they use that as an excuse to stop making hand drawn movies.
It's basically a case of having a pre-set conclusion in mind and just using any shortcut they can to get there.
One problem with that theory: none of their CGI films have really been "flops." Even Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons were financial successes, albeit mild. Meanwhile, their 2D-animated films have mostly flopped recently.

Did't they also make The Wild? IIRC that one pretty much bombed.
You're kind of right that people hold 2D to harsher standards now. The sad thing is that visual style should really have nothing to do with how good a movie is.

The Wild, along with Valiant and a couple of others, weren't made by Disney's head animation studio. They're just as much related to main Disney animation as Pixar.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, I was talking about the CGI releases in the Disney Animated Canon, which The Wild is not.

Word's going around that the current project by Musker and Clements is to be a 2D/CG Hybrid.
Nyanpasu~
I sure hope so. You can't beat Disney for beautiful hand-drawn animation.
Mr. Dr.
I'm probably one of the only people who thinks Tangled would've been a lot better Traditionally Animated than in cgi. It was perfect for the medium.

I agree. I'm still waiting on another Beauty And The Beast...
They don't announce their line-up past 3 years or so, so hey, maybe another hand-drawn feature may come in the FAR future! You never know, but I've been pretty depressed in the past months after realizing The Snow Queen would be CG, meaning John Lasseter's attempts to bring hand-drawn animation back (Devil voice>>>) FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAILED!!!!
I remember a press release online a while ago saying that The Princess And The Frog has made Disney interested in releasing a new hand-drawn film every two years. In fact that's what it says on The Millennium Age Of Animation! Now? ..I can't even look at it!!
Meanwhile, other hopes exist elsewhere. Dreamworks Animation is developing a CG film which features sentient, hand-drawn shadows. And Ron n' Jon may, as said, make a CG/2D hybrid. Many people want Glen Keane to get back on that independent hand-drawn short he's been trying to get done, set to a piece by Beethoven. It's others who will bring CG back... but Disney? Not looking like it now.
Hey! Hey you! Lasseter! I demand an explanation.

Well, they're pretending The Princess And The Frog doesn't exist (I think) and just marketed Winnie The Pooh poorly, but this has been bugging me for a long time since I believe they're changing The Snow Queen into CGI and starting to make more computer animated movies than hand-drawn ones. So are they still planning on more hand-drawn animation?
