In the 2000s traditionally-animated works fell out of fashion due to blockbuster hits like the Pixar films and Shrek along with the simplicity of animating in CGI compared to traditional animation. While 2D style animation is popular in France and Japan (though many use CG elements occasionally, and CGI cartoons are also prominent) and amongst televised cartoons (though they're usually produced through digital animation programs like Adobe Flash or Toon Boom), All CGI Cartoons have been rising in popularity over the years, and Western-produced traditionally-animated theatrical films are rare. Thus many series that used to be done in traditional animation have changed to being CGI over the years.
Naturally, this is highly controversial amongst long-time fans and animation buffs. Many people will invariably complain whenever a franchise switches to CGI.
Compare to the Video Game 3D Leap for a video game counterpart where games went from mostly sprites to 3D models.

While The Smurfs franchise first shifted to CGI with the 2016 animated film Smurfs: The Lost Village by Sony Pictures Animation (not counting numerous German and Belgian commercials), the third animated series also titled The Smurfs first released in French-speaking regions of Belgium on April 18, 2021 and an American release on September 10th, 2021. It's the first animated series completely animated in CGI, unlike previous works featuring the titular blue characters.

In 2009 Angelina Ballerina was changed from traditional animation into an All-CGI Cartoon. For whatever reason, the show also gave Angelina's design a Girliness Upgrade—she went from a standard white mouse who wore multiple styles to light pink and almost always wearing her pink ballet dress and slippers.

Disney Animated Canon:
The Disney Animated Canon slowly made the shift. After the underwhelming performance of Treasure Planet and Brother Bear, they declared that Home on the Range will be their last 2D animated film. Their first attempts at All-CGI Cartoon, such as Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons, were not particularly successful though the latter was critically better received than the former. Bolt seemed to break the streak, and starting with Tangled (which was originally to be done in a 2D/3D mix ala Paperman but was changed due to developmental issues) all of their All-CGI Cartoon films are major hits. They made two attempts to return to the 2D animation they used to be famous for, but the lukewarm success of The Princess and the Frog and Winnie the Pooh (2011), paired up with such CGI blockbusters as Frozen (2013) (which was announced as a traditionally animated film but was quickly changed to CGI) and Zootopia, means that we shouldn't expect any 2D Disney films in the near future.
As for characters, Ralph Breaks the Internet features the Disney Princess characters (well, those who weren't CGI to begin with) in CGI during a sequence taking place within a Disney-themed website.

For the first eleven seasons, Thomas & Friends was animated using scale train models and wooden figures of people and animals. Season 12 was used as a transition to CGI, as while it still used the scale train models, CGI was used for the engines' faces, as well as the people and animals. Seasons 13 through 24 has the entire show animated in CGI. The Continuity Reboot All Engines Go! averts this and shifts to 2D animation by Nelvana.

This happened to Miraculous Ladybug during production. The original idea was for it to be an animesque cartoon similar looking to Pretty Cure aimed at teens. The original 2012 trailer shows the original concept. Networks didn't want the cartoon so the animesque style was mostly scrapped (for example Marinette lost her Idiot Hair, though that could have been due to No Flow in CGI) and it was changed into an All-CGI Cartoon aimed at a younger audience.

The Classic Disney Shorts characters zig-zag in and out of this trope. The preschool aimed Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was an All-CGI Cartoon and it was the only thing Mickey Mouse was in for years. Similarly, the original Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas was traditionally animated but the sequel was not. The 2013 short Get a Horse! mixes 2D animated "classic" designs with CGI "modern" ones but the Mickey Mouse (2013) shorts are not in CGI. Mickey Mouse Roadster Racers & Mixed-Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse are also CGI like Clubhouse was.

The CGI animation combined with the lack of Batman's main Rogues Gallery are considered two of the main reasons why Beware the Batman ended up canceled after one season (and even then it was Screwed by the Network while airing). Future DC Comics kid-friendly adaptations are either done in 2D animation like Justice League Action, DC Super Hero Girls, and Teen Titans Go!, or are LEGO styled (a different style of 3DCG animation).

The films avert this but in terms of television cartoons Winnie the Pooh switched with My Friends Tigger & Pooh in 2007. Previously everything had been done with either puppets or traditional animation. When the characters appeared on Doc McStuffins in 2017, they were also CGI just like the show is, though the two flashbacks in the episode are hand-drawn.

Postman Pat had a theatrical movie that was animated in CGI. Let's just say that it wasn't as good as the TV series.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run; while the first SpongeBob movie was 2D animation with live-action portions and Sponge Out of Water has a part near the end that has the characters shift to CGI, Sponge on the Run is fully CGI-animated.

The traditionally animated Hungarian film Vuk the Little Fox got a 3D CGI sequel called The Fox's Tale several decades later. The poor animation was one of the many reasons the sequel was universally disliked.

The original Sailor Moon anime ran in the 90s and was entirely cel animation. Sailor Moon Crystal, on the other hand, used CGI for the soldiers' transformation sequences. The results were fairly divisive, with some praising the technological advances with others deriding the uncanniness of the characters in 3D but with the same anime features. Likely in response to the criticism, Season 3 replaces them with new hand-drawn transformations.

Gantz had an all-CGI movie entitled GANTZ: O which was released in 2016 and focused on the events of the Nurarihyon Seijin arc of the manga.

A Felix the Cat reboot announced in 2013 was meant to do this for the franchise, albeit while mixing in Flash elements. It ended up canned for unknown reasons.

Parodied in the Family Guy episode "Back to the Pilot", where Stewie and Brian travel five years into the future and see that the show is now in CGI, while the writing has become straight and to the point rather than attempting to make any kind of joke.

Transformers was all hand-drawn animation until the release of Beast Wars, which was all CGI. From then on, the next series would shift between inverting and playing this trope straight with Beast Machines also being CG, while Transformers: Robots in Disguise and Armada went back to 2D, only for Energon, and Cybertron to bring the CG back. The trend would continue with Transformers: Animated, also inverting this trope. The ''Aligned Universe'' (Transformers: Prime, Transformers: Go! and Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015)) also went back to being all CG before Transformers: Rescue Bots once again inverted the trope. Successive shows Transformers: Cyberverse was again in CG, albeit it ran alongside the 2D animated show Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy. The first Netflix show Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy was CG again, but after that came Transformers: BotBots, another 2D show.

The Happy Heroes movie series started to utilize CGI in 2022 with the third movie Happy Heroes: The Stones, the previous movies instead being in 2D like the show. To an extent, it shifted back to 2D in the fourth movie, Happy Heroes Multiverse Rescue; while the environments are 3D, the characters are 2D.

After the 1986 2D adaptation of Saint Seiya, later adaptations such as Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary and Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac were full CGI.
