Sorry but it's still going to be animated by Animal Logic, so you're pretty much splitting hairs, unless more Development Hell forces Warner Bros. to drop it and it gets tossed to another animation house.
Bumping this thread for a audio interview with Jeff himself
.
Sloving cases one by one
Almost at the end of the interview, and Jeff mentioned that the script for the Bone feature is being worked on at Warner bros as we speak. Although he doesn't mention the studio animating this film.
AWESOME.
Hold the phone...Did Animal logic lost the rights to Bone or is it still being done from Animal logic?
It's still Animal Logic, as far as I know.
I still think they should at least hire an external studio to animate the dream sequences in hand drawings the traditional way, as a way to distinguish them from the CG look of the main scenes. Dreams play a very important role in the story, and both Thorn and Fone Bone have some. Thorn's dreams are more serious and pertain more to the plot so her's could be very crudely drawn in charcoal and evoke a more indie, primal-looking style akin to the storybook sequence in Deathly Hallows Part I. Fone Bone's Moby Dick dream could be animated more like a Disney film.

Indeed.
That... would be AMAZING.

Which mean they're not going to do it that way.
Indeed.
Must you be so negative? 
Somebody clarify with this, is Animal logic still making this or did they lost the rights?
Indeed.
As far as we know, Animal House still has the rights.
Despite my screen-name, ranting to you about One Piece is not my top priority.
Damn it! There goes the chance for somebody else to give us what we really want over something that will suck!

I am still going to wait and see how this goes. But if this fails to satisfy me, then I'm going to wish Jeff stood up to those idiots who think CG has to work with everything to make profits.

I prefer to think of it as "knowing how the world works". That way, if they do something right for a change it's a pleasant surprise.
Don't you try anything, you baked good you.
Indeed.
#Nods# that makes sense.
Still, I'm optimistic, mostly because everyone else on the internet isn't.

Hey, it can happen. I didn't know there would be 2D sequences in Kung Fu Panda 2, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!

To put this in simpler terms: some numbnut thought a Smurfs movie was a good idea. Then they did it the way they did.
'Nuff said?
Don't you try anything, you baked good you.
Indeed.
There was? Neat. What was it? (In Harry Potter)

The Smurfs movie was an insult to intelligence everywhere.

Exactly my point; always assume the worst until proven otherwise. This is Hollywood we're talking about; these are not smart people.

But if you always assume the worst, what do you do when the world is predicted to end? Do you believe it, because its the worst thing that could possibly happen, or do you not, because its impossible that a human could predict it?

I'm saying that yes, learning how the world works is best because then you have realistic expectations, but hey! Surprisingly good things ALSO occur. You can't always assume you're going to hate everything that happens.
It was the sequence in Deathly Hallows Part 1. Hermoine reads the tale of the 3 Horcruxes, and the film uses that opportunity to show the tale in the form of CG animation inspired by puppetry.

I'd believe it and wait. I wouldn't panic or whatever others would do in a situation like that, I'd simply wait. If the world were about to end, there's not a thing I can do about it anyway, and if the reports were wrong, then I'd just continue on.
You're taking to someone whose last thoughts, if they fell off a skyscraper, would be "Oh dear, this is going to sting." I've already fallen; panicking would accomplish nothing.

Look.
Jeff Smith agreed to have it made in CG because he knows that THESE DAYS, execs won't be interested in a major animation blockbuster unless it's in CG. On the other hand, Jeff clearly rendered the BONE comic like a hand-drawn film (critics have pointed out how he paces his sequential blocks like a perfect storyboard for a film), and he once founded his own studio that made hand-drawn animation! My HOPES claim that he will try to convince the company to at least hire another studio to animation a few sequences like that that only last a minute or two.
