You have the right to disagree, but the fact remains. They are the going rates for 2D and 3D animation as set by professionals in the industry. As for the difference in 2D and 3D prices. If you'll notice, the prices are mostly the same with the exception of corporate and web based clients. From my experience as an animator a key frame is a key frame. It doesn't matter if it is a 2D or a 3D computer program, the "inbetweens" are created automatically on any program. Remember that these are the prices for "Computer Animation" NOT hand painted CELL animation. If you are referring to cell animation, then you are right, you must create every frame manually. (just like we did in the old days) These days, using Adobe After Effects and Photoshop layers you can crank out 2D animation faster than 3D because the render time is a fraction of Ray Trace rendering time. 3D animation requires lighting, posing, camera moves, etc... and is much more time consuming in my opinion. In the old days "Computerized Animation" meant that an old Tandy or IBM machine controlled the servo motors on a big 35MM Oxberry animation stand. You would move the camera through the computer and set the key frames. When you were ready, you would "run" the program you created and hope that the film didn't snap on the 30th pass through the camera. I know, I worked in an animation house in NYC back in '83 and that's how we did it.
