http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapunzel_%28film%29

According to some Disney insiders, the studio's upcoming animated feature Rapunzel is going to look a little different from other mainstream animation. That's because the animation will be done via CGI while resembling traditional hand-drawn animation.

While it's far too early to jump to any conclusions (after all, the film is slated for release next holiday season), this approach seems somewhat counterproductive to me. If they want to emulate the look of classic 2D Disney animation, why not just make a 2D-animated feature? The use of CGI comes across as a bit pointless.

Having said that, it is doubtlessly an ambitious undertaking. It will be interesting to see what the finished product looks like.
