So, i want you guys to post everything that is about mixing those 2 formats. I mean like cel-shading, stylized 3D models, designer toys and usage of 2D textures on 3D models just like on pic below
ITT: Good examples of mixing 2D with 3D
Benjamin Jackson
Lincoln Roberts
Joshua Wood
Kevin Powell
Carter Miller
Cool thing about this techniques is it can both have dynamic camera of 3D animation, but with stylized design of cartoons
Ryder Sanchez
Elijah Butler
Hell yeah! Too bad the show was canned(
Ayden Gonzalez
Peanuts movie was masterpiece in terms of design
Liam Lee
Is it me or the Blue one looks like a younger Blue Diamond, purple one like Blue Pearl and the red one is like a Ruby
Cooper Rivera
The emo one and the russian one are kino
Jonathan Cruz
especially for the time it was excellent
Jonathan Barnes
Yeah, that's pretty organic
Cooper Carter
Into the spider verse might argue with that
Christian Price
I'm a bit confused. Do you mean 2D and 3D used together, but used seamlessly? Do you mean it can also be 3D that "looks" 2D and/or 2D that "looks" 3D?
Would a show like Tron: Uprising fit this criteria?
Ian Martin
Post more of the blue one.
lol no
Liam Taylor
I assume by "mixing", the OP meant a combination of 2D and 3D. So more like the original Tron than Tron: Uprising, although the latter did have some limited 2D animation.

Aaron Wright
Well, i mean 3D models that look like 2D toons. Everything fits to this criteria
Christopher Powell
This one? I am color blind
Lucas Wright
Futurama did some excellent work combining 2D animation with 3D assets.
Austin Johnson
I meant the blue one with sandals and long hai-ah fuck it

Caleb Butler
Prince of Egypt had a bunch of crowd scenes where nameless background characters were CG models.

Most of the time I can tell when some object is a model rather than hand-drawn; it looks jarring. But when I look at those scenes, I'm not entirely sure which background characters are CG or not.
They were both great. Both of them had a lot of impressive attention to detail in taking characters that are designed to only work in 2D and using them in a three-dimensional space.
I don't have a good article on the tricks used in Spider-Verse, but this one does a good job analyzing the animation cheats in Peanuts:

As much as I loved Tron Uprising, I don't feel like it's a good example of either ways to interpret OP's question. Uprising had great variety in how the characters were designed and stylized, and it had a unique, gorgeous visual look. However, it's a pretty common complaint that it takes some time to get used to how its animation looks like. It doesn't use motion blur, so its movements can look jerky and kinda stop-motion -like.
Eli Martinez
My biggest complaint about Tron Uprising is that I can't watch Tron Legacy any more without thinking it's a cast of midgets.
Luis Perry
Gah, finally someone understood what i meant
Easton Bennett
It really bugs me that you can only find really creative use of CGI in shows for toddlers.
Bentley Gomez
This whole movie.
Disney in general was really good with mixing the two styles.
Oliver Barnes
I gotta disagree, Silver's arm was distracting as fuck through the whole movie.
Sebastian Jackson

mixes 2D, CGI, stop motion and paper backgrounds. Brief description of techniques in Behind the Scenes ta studiopupil.com
Benjamin Scott
more like arousing
Tyler Watson
i disagree too, you saw 2d flat characters on 3d ship at the beginning of he movie. (that "flyby" view)
Bentley Carter
Does Teri count?
Owen Anderson
Teri always count, no mater what's the topic of the thread.
Nicholas Baker
Jellyjam?
