Because technology has finally allowed it to become financially viable
to produce large amounts of high quality 3D imagery. It won't be long
till 3D animation is far cheaper than most any other traditional forms.
We were just asked to bid on a job that is all 3D animated, but look
just like claymation. Ironic? But 3D will never replace really creative
2D animation (at least I hope not).
