A form of hybrid 2D/3D animation which uses CGI animated models as a base, and adds stylized effects in 2D on top of it, generally with the idea of making the animation look more like traditional art. Often used to mimic specific traditional styles, such as anime, comic books, or paintings.
This can take several forms:
Flat colors or Cel Shading, common in Anime and Animesque examples.
Shading/texturing styles that imitate brush strokes or similar imperfections on surfaces, giving the impression of a moving art-piece.
Adding outlines to characters, making them look sketched-over or more like drawings.
Flat special effects like motion lines, drawn-on particle effects, or Written Sound Effects.
Stylized coloring and highlighting techniques, such as Blush Stickers or crosshatching.
Deliberately distorted character models, so their silhouettes and features more resemble 2D figures, along with the use of techniques like Cheated Angle or smear-framing to preserve the posing and movement style of the same.
A lower frame rate; 3D animated films and shows are usually animated on 1s (i.e., a new "drawing" every frame), but a lot of these works will have character movements or other elements animated on 2s (new pose every two frames) or more, to make the movement have a flow and impact closer to traditional 2D animation (the money saved by doing this is a nice bonus).
This is in contrast to more conventional All CGI Cartoons, which generally attempt to mimic real-life shading, lighting and camerawork, making the animation look like a real camera filming animated people. Compare the inverse, 2D Visuals, 3D Effects. Compare Cel Shading, a Sub-Trope of this, and Rotoscoping, drawing over a live-action base. Related to Medium Blending and Painting the Medium.

TRON: Uprising: This was an early example of an entire CGI show that "looks" 2D, but isn't, disguising the 3D nature of it with a dark colour palette, a strong cel-shading system, heavy usage of shadows, and a low framerate. The only thing that really gives it away are the faces, and even those tend to be obfuscated in shadow to keep up the look.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021): Despite primarily being a 3DCG cartoon, effects like smoke and energy beams are hand drawn 2D animation that blends with the poppy visuals. This is best seen in the intro, which also adds 2D impact frames.

The Peanuts Movie: The film uses four separate art-styles; 3-D props and character models that use Cheated Angles to follow 2-D animation conventions and to keep everyone as close to their designs from the strip as they can be. 2-D effects are used when someone shouts, blushes, falls over, or just with Pigpen' dust mites (for obvious reasons). There are several 2-D black and white Imagine Spots that replicate the strips' art style at numerous points too, and it all takes place in a world with realistic backgrounds and lighting. It is also largely animated on two's to match the classic TV specials (and it released at a time when this was unusual for films to do so); In fact, The Peanuts Movie is often considered one of the first theatrical film releases to use Painted CGI to make deliberate contrasting use of two or more art-styles for effect.

Turning Red: 2D style graphic window streaks were applied to nearly every piece of glass in the film. Artists introduced color pooling to the character designs that mimic the look of paint that would settle along edges and in crevices of a newly painted object that was wiped with a cloth. It can be seen along with characters’ noses, for example, as well as on garments where stitching shows.

Heroes of the Storm: The trailer for the MechaStorm event depicts an impressively animated high-octane fight scene as Mecha Tyrael and Mecha Rehgar square off against Xenotech Abathur. Unlike the game's other trailers (which use either in-game models or traditional 2D animation), the MechaStorm trailer uses cel-shaded models animated in a low framerate, combined with dynamic camerawork and a plethora of hand-drawn effects to replicate the look of a 2D anime.

The Borderlands series: Borderlands used black outlines and textures with penciled-in lines to give the game a stylized Comic Book-esque look, but the lighting and shading were done realistically. Borderlands 2, however, used a combination of real-time filter and specially crafted textures to give the in-game world and characters the Comic Book-esque look, but had the lighting and shading exempted from the filter — this allows the characters to look comic book-esque, but keep lighting and shadows realistic, at the cost of high GPU load [1]. Gamers have found that turning off the filter (by tweaking the .ini file) reduced the comic book-esque effect to almost nonexistent, but it does make the game run smoother on lower-end GPU hardware.

Tiny and Big has a visual style made to resemble comic books, and makes use of thick outlines for that purpose. The lighting itself is rendered as normal before being overlaid with a set of hand-drawn shadow textures that take the place of traditional color-based shadows. The developers call their solution the "hatch shader," and explain the rendering process in greater detail here and here.

The Disney shorts Paperman and Feast look almost as if they were cel-shaded but noticeably different; the animation looks traditional, but they are also akin to a CG film. The animators actually drew lines by hand on top of the CG models to achieve this look.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is credited for popularizing this trope for theatrical film. In order to look more like a comic book, shading often uses effects such as screentone or stippling, and the 3D models have hand-drawn outlines to them to give a comic book feel, as well as the use of 2D effects and textures. This trope extends into its sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, naturally, with a wider range of visual styles and influences applied to the individual worlds and their characters.

The tree surfing scenes (and most other 3D backgrounds) in Tarzan are 3D with a painterly style. Possibly the Ur-Example, as the film was released in 1999 and said effect was intended to blend into the otherwise 2D-styled animation. Later films such as Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet would later use this technique, called Deep Canvas, much more extensively.
Even before Tarzan, Disney already experimented with doing such an effect with implementing early CGI effects in their last few xerox films such as The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, Oliver & Company, and The Little Mermaid (1989). The process involved tracing the CGI to paper by a computer, before being xeroxed into cels and then painted in by hand.
Wish (2023) fully embraces this style. As the trailer shows, the backgrounds feature a painterly look while the character models have faint outlines.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines has painterly textures and outlines applied to the CGI models to make the human world more imperfect when compared to the sleekly designed machines. The filmmakers' goal was to make the final film look as much like the concept art as possible. Some scenes also have animated versions of Katie's doodles superimposed on top (dubbed "Katievision") to show her state of mind.

Tales of Runeterra uses a painted style, with visible brushstrokes and block colors, plus select flat effects, such as smoke and explosion flashes being drawn as solid colors.

Entergalactic combines 2D and 3D elements, and every texture was individually painted in Photoshop.

What If…? (2021): The art style for the series includes cel-shaded characters and environments with a painted feel to give the show a look resembling that of the works of early American painters.

Even before Tarzan, Disney already experimented with doing such an effect with implementing early CGI effects in their last few xerox films such as The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, Oliver & Company, and The Little Mermaid (1989). The process involved tracing the CGI to paper by a computer, before being xeroxed into cels and then painted in by hand.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run's CGI is in a frame rate where everything is animated every two or so frames in most places to mimic how the 2D SpongeBob SquarePants show is animated.

A very strange example from EX-ARM. The main characters and backgrounds are in Cel Shaded CGI with outlines drawn on, while minor characters are traditionally 2D animated. Many special effects are flat GIFs or drawn on after the fact, though the animation is so disjointed that it's hard to tell if this is a style or a Special Effects Failure.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves uses 3D models like SNK's newest games at the time, such as The King of Fighters XV and Samurai Shodown 2019. As displayed in its first gameplay teaser, everything has a filter applied giving the impression of an inked illustration, similar to SNK artist Shinkiro's signature style.

Klaus is a bit of an inversion. The film is fully animated in 2D, but uses CGI lighting and shading effects to grant the film an unprecedented level of visual depth and texture, with the stated goal by the creator being to avert Detail-Hogging Cover.

Pretty Cure: The All-Stars movies starting from Spring Carnival used stylized cel-shaded 3D models and rendered outlines to mimic the coloring of the show it spins off from. The anime had used animation of this style in some of the regular series' ending sequences, leading to it fully being embraced for the films.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder has graphics that are noticeably more stylized than the ones used in the New Super Mario Bros. series, featuring a number of effects evocative of older titles' 2D artwork. Among other things, backgrounds and objects have textures that make them look more like paintings, and characters are lit and animated in a "3D imitating 2D" style, including heavy use of key frames, Cheated Angles, smears during rapid motion, and textures that look as if they were painted on.

The real-world sequences of Bolt are designed to have a painterly feel to the backgrounds, though the characters are rendered more conventionally. This effect would be used in more extensively in later Walt Disney Animation Studios films such as Tangled and Frozen.

Olive, the Other Reindeer is CGI that is stylized as if it was a paper pop-up card. Released in 1999, it's one of the earliest examples of this style.

Super Smash Bros. was an early pioneer of this technique, mainly through the character Mr. Game & Watch. Game & Watch is a 3D model that is completely flattened on its Z-axis, has a prominent outline, and is mostly unaffected by lighting. Combined with his deliberately primitive animations (being around one frame per second), it looks identical to a sprite from his own games.
