>Not even the staff at Pixar would say such a thing.

ha, some friends of mine who worked at pixar said that very thing. they were being facetious, btu i could hear a lot of truth in it.

i honestly agree with them slightly. while hand drawn animation can be beautiful and i hope it never goes away, there is SO much potential in CG that i think it's going to be really hard for hand drawn to compete in teh marketplace, there may be some artsy films that drop once in a while, but all teh box office money is going to the big CG studios.
