@mrbojangles25: Although Princess and the Frog was great, some of the best work from Walt Disney Animated Studios came out in the decade since, like Frozen and Moana and Encanto and Wreck it Ralph. I wouldn’t throw them out just because they are CGI. I love and prefer 2D animation, but ignoring some of their best work just because of a different medium seems like old-man-yelling-at-clouds.
As for the rest, yes 2D animation is super expensive, especially when there isn’t a big enough workforce trained and experienced in 2D animation left in the US to make a full 2D feature. And even if there was, releasing a 2D feature to theaters would be suicide, since mainstream audiences have gotten used to the thinking of 2D = low budget, and CG = worth the money.
