There's a very, very good reason for this. When a 3D computer animated movie and a 2D traditionally animated movie come out in the same year, the 3D computer animated movie usually makes more money. Check the numbers for yourself.

In 1995, the 3D CGI movie "Toy Story" made more money than the 2D-animated movie "Pocahontas":

In 2001, the 3D CGI movies "Monsters, Inc." and :"Shrek" made more money than the 2D-animated movie "Atlantis: The Lost Empire":

And in 2009, the 3D CGI movies "Up" and "Monsters vs. Aliens" made more money than the 2D-animated movie "The Princess and the Frog":

So if you're trying to get Hollywood to make more 2D animated movies, forget it. You're wasting your time. You don't have as much support as you think you do, and you're fighting a battle you can't win.

Thanks. Yeah probably.
