As much as I love traditional animation and Don, and already threw a tenner at the ks, this looked like it would fail from the beggining.
The pitch video showed nothing new to get me excited, and it looked like it was right out of 80s trailers, which might have been the point, but it only helped to remind me how bad 80s trailers were.
There's a reason why 2D animation is nearly dead, with 3D you can hand a kid a good model and he will be doing decent animation in a couple years, in 2D in those 2 years you would be lucky, exceptionally skillful to have mastered the human figure enough to do animation; so needing more experienced workers makes for a very small pool of potential candidates, and being more experienced also means demanding more pay.
These days, I get my kick of traditional animation with stop motion, but even that these days means zbrushed 3D color printed heads for expressions.
