I think there are more 2-D cartoons than 3-D ones. It's just that 3-D cartoons are more popular now- I'm assuming because it's still a new technology- so it may just seem like there are more 3-D cartoons now.
Because this is like the 21st century here and they got sick of drawing charcthers by hand so I prosume they wanted to do 3D instead. Yeah your not the only one who misses 2D animation like Little Mermaid or Aladdin or Tarzan or Home on the Range or Lilo & Stich. Luckly Enchanted (which is half and half) has 2D . If you haven't seen it then do cause I tell ya it is brill.
Well...1st i must say that im sorry of my bad english.I prefer more 3d cartoons all thought 2d's have their magic to.I still remember the old black and whie Mickey.It was brilliant , but just watching the beautiful graphics of a 3d animated disney film makes me think that it is really hard to make.Maybe that isnt the same but whie dont you guys start drawing cartoons like i do.It makes me remeber of the good old toons.
Well acutally, I read on the internet that Disney decided to start making 3D movies instead of the tradtional animation. I think this was when the movie, "Bolt" was first mentioned. I could be wrong about this answer, but that's what I think.
I think it's because it's easier for them to make them like that, instead of drawing every single second of the film. They're taking adventure of the new tools they have.
