I agree it wasn't the best example for the point I was trying to make, but it was the best I could find in short notice. It just sounded to me like the "save 2D" people you described were more focused on preserving a very particular kind of 2D animation methodology, and saying because this methodology is dead the entire medium is dead. I was trying to propose that 2D animation that imitates the old style very well does exist in the modern era. I'll admit, though, that while I know and have talked to some people in the animation industry it is not my area of expertise, so I could be completely off base with my observations.
