Is computer animation better than hand-drawn animation?

[asdf]

I'm just starting, and I know very little about animation, so I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I understand that computer animation is the latest phase in the business, and it is superior to hand-drawn animation, because computer modelling offers far more detail than the traditional variety. If so, then I'm wondering why anyone is still using 2- and 3-D stills.

I'm a very poor artist, but I have very good mathematical and computer skills, and I like story-telling, so I am leaning now towards doing some work in computer animation. If someone can advise me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Traditional animation and CG are just two different mediums, like oil or acrylic on canvas, people have a preference on which to work with. Both of them have strengths and weaknesses. With that in mind, make sure you take advantage of all the strengths the medium has to offer when you begin your project.

Can you point me to some links that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of either medium?

I loved Secret of Nimh, by the way. I presume Don's a traditional animator?

yes..Don bluth is a traditional animator,producer, Director...and a GREAT TEACHER......hmm...what ever you do in both traditional and cg ...it all requires the `Principal of animation` which has been invented long time ago and it is still worth...your work wont be looking great without it....you will see lots of CG works out there...but..cant find life in most of them unless where the 2d animators were behind of them...
so, it doesnot matter which medium you want to involve...learn the basic proper thing then explore..

I'd love to learn from Don, but I don't like drawing - failed art classes in elementary school, actually, though I've always aced mathematics.
