2D toy story

what if toy story was only a 2D film, would technology be delayed? would there be an impact on culture? would the movie not have the same amount of novelty?
 
I suppose it would look like a digitally-srwn cartoon, that is all. I suppose they could have done it in 3D for quite a while, so I don't of necessity assume a tech delay- although if there was with, say, mid-late '80s tech, the quality of animation would be much worse.
