- Economic crisis in the '70s
- Walt gone, the company's money allocated mostly to 2 (soon to be 3) theme parks
- Director Wolfgang Reitherman personally enjoyed reusing animation
- It's still hard work to trace those exact movements and still look well-done

Their enthusiasm to keep doing 2D features, from what I’ve heard, was dead a while before that. The production was born in part because of a weird whim - it being an attempt to reboot WTP - they were on at the time, and it ended up being a WDAS film.

Impossible. The movie's out in less than a year, typically the voice acting comes first, especially w/ animation as Herculean as this series. ATSV/Beyond started as a big epic, so I'd imagine most of her dialogue that's in Beyond was originally recorded for a much longer ATSV.

I don’t know, I think calling the visuals in the original ‘Toy Story’ “bad” is harsh. That’s like saying 1995 SNES or early PS1 graphics are bad. Unlike hand drawn or hand painted imagery, CGI and graphics arguably inherently have an aging problem. Not the artists’ fault, at all.
