animation and technology

ok so im researching how animation has been effected by technology over the years... little did i think that CG and 3D animation would come up lol. And then i realized thats pretty much all it is these days 3D this and 3D that, what happened to the good old Disney golden age, not that i dislike all computer generated animations i just find them not as charming as ^_^ my way. Although having said this i really like the mo cap aspect of 3D and i am defiantly going to look into this further.
