It was Toy Story lol, it made like 12x as much money as its budget, 30 million dollars which was less than Disney's Pocahontas that made 6x back on 50 million. They tried Treasure Planet, spent 140 million dollars on it the most ever for traditional animation. It made back one quarter of its budget. Toy Story is like a trillion dollar franchise now.

Anyway as the picture mentions, capitalism in Asia and Europe is happy to keep making traditional animation, and since then Disney does it again too.
