to create an 2D computer animation you need a computer, drawing tablet,drawing and animating software.
a very high degree of artistic ability is also needed to create drawings that are clear and good looking.
Advantages.

- it is cheaper and easier when compared to 3D Animation
- the animations are not bound to any rules allowing the animations to be of anything.
Disadvantages.
- it is very time consuming
- a very high level of artistic ability is needed to create these animations meaning not everyone can do it
- equipment and software are expensive
