Huh, that opinion regarding obvious CGI in 2D stuff is similar to mine about it. So I'm not alone.
The conspicuous CGI was one the main complaints with The Simpsons Movie as It stood out like dog's balls. More so than Futurama's.
Rotoscoping CGI models would be a neat solution. Like trace over vehicles, and landscapes rather than live people or 3D character models.
The famous Betty Boop cartoon Minnie the Moocher has a major example of rotoscoping. Skip to 4:15 on the video for the example.
Those are Cab Calloway's dance moves traced over for the ghost walrus, giving him a very creepy feel.
