Absolutely a great idea. It's ridiculous the way studios assume everything has to be either CGI or stop motion these days. 2D hand animation is not an inferior technology, simply an alternative artistic style, like painting vs. sculpture. There should be abundant room for both. And lots of animators still clearly love 2D. The makers of Kung Fu Panda manage to keep it alive by including 2D dream or flashback sequences in the movies. John Lasseter of Pixar has talked about wanting to do a traditional animated feature. There's no reason not to, and plenty of filmmakers who want to. Maybe it's up to us as audiences to let the studios know we're not averse to it. Although the best way to do that would be with our box-office or DVD-rental/purchase dollars/euros/etc., and there are fewer 2D-animated features to spend money on every year. So it's a tricky proposition. To find 2D movies these days, we pretty much have to look outside Hollywood, to the likes of Studio Ghibli or Sylvain Chomet.
