From what I've heard, Home on the Range will be the last traditionally animated movie that Disney will make. Compared to computer animation (such as the upcoming Chicken Little), traditional workings aren't as time- or cost-efficient. That, and anyone can see the declining numbers raked in from the last few they've cranked out. Not that they've been any good, but you know.

I'm pretty sure that Disney still doesn't have any renewed agreement with Pixar, which is why they're forging ahead with their own projects. Considering the successes of Toy Story and Finding Nemo and all those movies, it wasn't surprising to see them move in a different direction. It sucks, but it's the end of an era.
