The dimensional subtraction conundrum

This is, I guess, from the "How to train your dragon" DVD extras. Not the most necessary piece of work out there, but there are two interesting things to be observed in it. One - apparently the studios take care to invent some work for the poor 2D animators out there, maybe as a form of social security or something. Two - as they switch between techniques, notice how the transition from 3D to 2D is relatively passable, but the switch from 2D back to 3D feels odd, it leaves you with the same feeling in your stomach as when you miss a step going downstairs.
