When I heard this news in the LA Times I thouhgt glossed over it. I don't think this is about 2D or 3D. The fact of the matter is that the good scripts are being made in 3D. The talent is going to shops like Pixar and the results are first and foremost excellent stories and characters.
3D animation costs more than 2D to produce so this is not about making it cost effective.
Nemo would have grossed the same amount of money if it was traditionally animated.
