Why do you think it is that people (children and adults alike) have drifted away from watching hand-drawn animation in favor of inferior computer stuff? I reference Dexter's Lab, powerpuff, samurai jack, etc as the starters of the poor animation craze. That type of animation is all I see these days, although I'm not sure how Phineas and Ferb is done.

Is it that much cheaper? One animated film of 20 mins takes 100k plus hrs to bring to fruition so I guess I just don't see how it's cheaper than paying an artist to draw it in 2/3 the time

Is there anything we can do as an audience to try to bring back classic (better) animation?

Well if the Gutenberg press produced higher quality printing then I think it should stick around, not be replaced by computer stuff that looks like its in 2d and has no depth to it
