What is a 2D movie?

Answer 1

A 2D Movie is when you look at a screen, and the movie isn't popping out of the screen, like in 3D movies. 3D, you have to look through specially made glasses, wheras in 2D, you don't need anything specially made except the TV, the DVD, Video or BluRay and the movie. Simple.

I must interject here.

If you go see a movie like Toy Story (made using computer graphics) and see it it without the 3D glasses...IT DOES NOT MAKE IT A 2D MOVIE!!! It is a CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) movie. When people refer to 2D animation they are talking classical animation. In fact they should not even be referring to that as 2D. It should be Classical and CGI Animation which by the way just happen to be 2 of many types of animation.

Toy Story 3 is a CGI movie that can be seen in ENHANCED 3D. Its already in 3D. It means 3 dimensions. X Y and Z. The characters and animation move in all three of those zones glasses or not.

The "3D" version with the glasses are just an enhancement of that.Thats my rant. I thank you.

Here is an article that might shed so new light, http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/23/movie-theaters-could-screw-up-your-2d-movies-by-leaving-the-digi/

Answer 2

2D, or two definition art and animation is presented as if it were flat, like reading a book. It does not have the depth of field present in 3 dimensional animation.

Answer 3

It means that the characters on screen are flat. So what you normally see on a TV at home.

Answer 5
