I too, am deeply saddened with the demise of hand drawn animation and thank you for your kind words. The good news is that I am not an animator and I am still here.... coming on 15 years with the mouse. But with centralization, outsourcing, cutbacks etc no one is secure these days.

Because of the law of supply and demand, I still believe hand drawn will make a comeback some day. Post Lion King everyone opened an animation studio and novice artist were commanding 6 figure salaries. Now that all the studios have shuttered and there is a large pool of available animators, one could actually hire a crew at a reasonable rate and make a feature with a smaller budget. I believe Steve Jobs is already planning to do just that at Pixar.
