I like them for what they are, but they are not classics. 3D animation might be cheaper and less time consuming, but the classics just have that flare to them that no 3D animation will have. I remember watching Lady and the Tramp when I was a kid, and I loved the movie and love the animation. It has a flare to it that 3D animation will never have, I really cannot describe it.
Also too, I love Loony Tunes and Merrie Medodies not only for the hand drawn animation, but but it's stories. Years ago when these animation films and shorts were made, the culture in America was different. I like the stories because it reflected the culture that I liked, just in the phrases, stories, and ideas that are largely ignored today. Not only that, the comedy was clean and genuinely funny. Watching them always cracked me up when I was a kid and now. Culture has changed too much from the way I liked it and you see that in the Disney Pixar films of today. I'm not saying they are bad or inferior to the older stuff, I'm saying they are what they are, but I prefer the older stuff.
