And by 'animated' I mean classical 'by hand' animation instead of CGI/flash.

It just seems as though the original format is being ignored for flashy and/or easier done.

And that's a bit depressing.

TV is still a haven for hand-drawn stuff. There are still quite a few shows on Nick, CN and Disney that are drawn by hand.

How about "How much animation isn't animated at breakneck sweatshop conditions and/or Korea"

2D or 3D, I'm pretty sure everything is done with the help of modern computers.

Bobs Burgers i know is hand-drawn, it actually went the opposite way: it started on Flash and then reverted for the second season, at least according to this wiki.

OP, that's called "traditional animation", not simply the very concept of animation.

Depends what you mean with "truly animated". "Real" hand-drawn animation with hand-painted cells aso hasn't been around since "Sleeping Beauty". If you simply mean "not CGI", then yes. Laika for Stop motion, plus there are still a bunch of European studios who do Stop Motion and Traditional Animation. And there is naturally Anime, though Studio Ghibli is taking a break.

Have you seen "Song of the Seas"? Beautiful!

Yeahhh... Those are done with stylists and computer tablets.

Styluses. Stylists are something else.

To be fair, I'm sure stylists come into play at some point. tongue

Ralph Bakshi's The Last Days Of Coney Island is traditionally animated.

I feel like I read somewhere that Song of the Sea and Secret of Kells were almost entirely hand drawn?

[up][up]I think the implication was more so "hand-drawn using paper, pens, and cels" with no digital animation software used whatsoever.

See, regardless of whether it's done with a stylus and a tablet or with ink and paint and cels, I still consider it "traditionally animated" because it's hand-drawn and 2D. Really, if it's disqualified because of the use of stylus and tablet, then you kind of have to discount cels too; the first film animators (Windsor Mc Kay, for instance) drew on rice paper.

Actually, I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think anyone uses cels anymore. Scanning drawings into the computer is much more cost-effective.

[up] Like I said, handinked cells have been out of fashion for quite some time. Too expensive.

I wouldn't exclude things like regular show from being traditional animation. Yea they're not drawn the sam way, but it's still hand drawn. Moving from quils and ink to pens didn't take away from calligraphy, it just changed it.

[up][up] How is scanning drawings into a computer "racing to the bottom?" Hand drawn in still hand drawn, just instead of tracing the drawings onto celluloid sheets, they scan 'em into a computer or draw 'em directly on a tablet or a drawing screen. Cuts down mightily on cel-dirt and speeds up production.
