Call me nostalgic but, when I first saw these hand-drawn concepts from Frozen, I couldn't help but think that a classic 2D version would have looked so much better. The warmth and beauty in these drawings are not in the flashy computer animated version.
This is not concept art from the abandoned hand-drawn Snow Queen feature film, but 2D concept art for the computer animated film Frozen.

I don't think "a lot better" describes it very well, the 2D art is beautiful, but i don't think it would make the movie better in any sense, also... I'm pretty sure a 2D disney film would include 3D CGI mixed into the animation, so it's not like disney would make it in a traditional all hand drawn way, and in the end it would probably sink since most people don't care anymore for 2D films... tons of effort went into the 3D one, and it really shows, at least aesthetically... because the story is lame as shit.
