My sister dusted off an old VHS player and a load of old videos we've had since we were kids and put on the original Disney Robin Hood. It was insane to watch it after so many years, and so many of the visuals and the characters were ingrained in my memory from the million times I probably watched it as a child.

But what was most interesting to look at was how different it was to so-called 'cartoons' and animated films that kids grow up with these days. Did the old cartoonists that drew up these cartoons all lose their jobs? Or did they take a load of animation tutorials and modernise their craft for this new wave of digital technology and animated film making?

I miss the old style of kids films, and it was nice to see them again - modern animated films seem almost too clean and perfect now.
