Good, hand-drawn animation is terribly time consuming and expensive when compared to modern CGI methods. The more Disney works with 3d Animation the more they can re-use assets and calculations for future works. This allows more focus to be put on story, character development, voice acting and also reduces the cost overall.
Just sit back and look at how PRETTY Wreck It Ralph was, don't look at what the characters were doing (although the animation was just brilliant) but the background scenery and what was taking place there. They've likely got the Brave Hair formula in storage or will use it from here on out to animate ALL hair.
This is progress, people. Sure hand-drawn has some cute charm, Princess and the Frog had some hilarious animations, but so did Tangled, Brave and Wreck It Ralph.
