The chief creative officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios told The Daily Telegraph that the hand-drawn style of the upcoming The Princess And The Frog is "timeless".
Lasseter said: "I never understood why Disney and other studios thought that audiences weren't interested in watching hand-drawn animation anymore.
"Because of the success of our films at Pixar and other things, I think they decided, 'Oh, people just want to watch computer animation'."
He added: "But part of me was thinking that didn't make any sense because the computer is just the tool, in the same way that the pencil is, or, with live-action filmmaking, the way the camera is.
"You never hear of a live-action studio that has been making so-so films looking over at a studio that's making great movies and going, 'Oh, we see the difference - we're using a different camera'.
"It seemed 2D animation became the scapegoat for bad storytelling."
