Well its a bit technical if you talk about the real difference. For 2D the animation is mostly manual like we can use a lightbox and pencil but 3D cant be done without a computer. 2D is frame by frame and 3D can be done pose to pose also. Although 3D is nothing but a developed from of 2D or lets say...

Although 3D is nothing but a developed from of 2D or lets say traditional classical animation. There are many more differences as which cant be discussed in this small box but briefly its totally on the technological side like analog vs digital kind of a thing. read less

2D is hand drawn and 3D is CG (computer generated). Now a days 2D can be done using software like flash, toon boom. But I prefer classical 2d which is the best way to understand Animation.

The most obvious difference between 2D and 3D is right in the name. The 2D means two dimensional and 3D means three dimensional. In other words, a 2D animation has flat images that lack depth and can only move vertically (y axis) or horizontally (x axis). In contrast, 3D animations add depth so squares...

The most obvious difference between 2D and 3D is right in the name. The 2D means two dimensional and 3D means three dimensional. In other words, a 2D animation has flat images that lack depth and can only move vertically (y axis) or horizontally (x axis). In contrast, 3D animations add depth so squares in 2D become cubes in 3D. The 3D animations also move in three directions, vertically (y axis), horizontally (x axis) and forward (closer to you) or backward (farther away from you), which is the z axis. read less

In school days we have created graphs on X (horizontal) Y (vertical) axis. This is what the 2D graphic. And if we add the depth (axis) that is 'Z' means we have opened area to play in 3D depth. We can play with that of 2D object in to 3D depth by adding it the 3rd dimension or start transforming into...

We can play with that of 2D object in to 3D depth by adding it the 3rd dimension or start transforming into 3D depth like in real world we do observe. And 'Animation' is the term used with moving object virtually. This is the basic but major difference between 2D and 3D animation.... start learning !!! read less
