In my opinion, to be a really great animator, you NEED to learn traditional 2D animation. The old 2D artists at Disney literally invented animation as we know it, so I believe that is how you should learn as well. Also, a pencil is much much easier to control than a complex 3D character rig. You can learn and develop the principles of animation more easily with 2d because you are not also trying to learn the software at the same time.

Heck, Pixar doesn't even care if you have any experience at all with 3d animation. They just want good animators.
