Fun fact: The first CG cartoon on TV is the The Incredible Crash Dummies. It aired on Fox Kids in May 1, 1993.

It's also silly. Very silly indeed.
 
The CGI in the ballroom scene of Beauty and the Beast still looks good. Has a lil' bit of 90s CG in some areas. But for the most part, it still looks fine.

Here's two images and one video on how it's made, as well as a comment by Pikapetey Animations on said video, explaining how they animated the 2D portion.

Princess Mononoke is the other great example of CG used in a 2d movie that still looks fantastic today. Cg has garnered a bad rep but thats only because its associated with rushed hack jobs done to save time and money, its always looked great under the right hands.

It's an uphill battle. If good 3d is doing its job then it looks 2d and you don't notice it and won't realize it's an example of good 3d unless you're told.

Bad 3d jumps out as 3d immediately, so you remember every bad instance of 3d, but rarely any of the good ones.

I came here to post the LGR video and while catching up on the thread I saw B&B mentioned and was going to post how much slicker Princess Mononoke was. Damn!

The Beauty and the Beast CGI actually looks kind of shitty in my opinion. The floor looks good though.
 
800,000 machine hours, 114,240 frames and 1,561 shots of animation, each taking 45 minutes to 30 hours to render in 1536 × 922 pixels, and a lot of computers. Fucking worth it.
