There's been an ongoing community project to create a faithful rendition of Thief and the Cobbler as Williams intended it, before the sell-off to Disney [0]. I'd highly recommend it to any fan of traditional animation. It's really sad to see this art form has died out on a large scale.

"It's really sad to see this art form has died out on a large scale" I think 2D animation will eventually make a widespread comeback - ironically probably via 3D animation tools. These tools can now convincingly mimic 2D animation (see Blender's Grease Pencil feature as an example). These tools might not use the traditional frame-by-frame technique of 2D animation, but they still open up lots of possibilities. An example is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - it's clearly a 3D film but has a unique 2D/3D aesthetic.
