For example, illustrators need to have different skill sets. Have story lines and musical scores changed in these films? What impact does the emphasis on special effects have on plot and character development?

If you have a big appetite for movies and see a lot of them, it will help you in this question. To answer effectively you'll need to know something about animation before computer generation. Ever see the Disney film Snow White(1937)? The 1933 Frankenstein? This question is really about the aesthetics of film, a perspective most of us don't explicitly use in evaluating film for our friends (you’ll need to know what aesthetics is).
