Computer animation has it's own style and artistic quality. I don't think it should be boiled down to camera angles. You can stylize a 3d model just like 2D characters. Pixar knows. In any case, I like both. I'm not going to start a traditional vs 3D debate since i'm waving pompoms for both sides. It would get confusing. I'm sure the movie would have been pretty as a 2d feature, but still think 3D is an interesting choice for it. And so far, I love what it looks like.
Hair was difficult to replicate, but they now developed a lot of awesome tools to make it. Pocahontas' hair is cool, but it's a very simplified design (black blob with escaping strands, it does look cool but it's very simple). I don't think Rapunzel would have looked cool with Pocahontas hair. There's definitely something I love about the way they did her hair in 3D.
I don't think the Disney "3D studios" are as strong as Pixar yet, and you can't compare a developing studio to a well established one. So yeah, their 3D might seem a lot weaker then their 2D, but I still think they are doing good.
