Reply to comment by dilldoeorg in TIL that "Lilo & Stitch" (2002) used exclusively watercolor backgrounds, since Disney, after some failures, was investing in other projects. This was later called a "hand drawn miracle". by starring2

Cartoon Saloon (Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, Wolfwalkers) still creates beautiful 2D animated movies! There's also a lot of other non USA studios that are still doing hand drawn animation

They're not owned by Disney. OP was specifically saying that the studio that made Lilo & Stitch was the last studio Disney had that was doing hand drawn animation.

Didn't know if the comment I was responding to was aware of other 2D studios, that's all

I recently discovered Wolfwalkers - beautiful and really fun film! The plot and some of the scenes did remind me very strongly of Princess Mononoke though. Song of the Sea is my favourite animation film.
