Futurama Bender's Big Score:

Most Futurama episodes are mix of 2D and 3D animation. In the TV Movie "Bender's Big Score" the use of 3D animation blends in with the original animation perfectly. The visual impact is enjoyable. The Battle scene is a perfect example because it uses 3D ships and models with 2D characters and explosions which combine really well and make it more interesting.

 

Final Space Season 1 (Intro):

I think that the Final Space Intro is a simple but interesting use of 3D animation because even though the 3D animation is not outstanding there is a lot happening in the intro and it focuses on the main characters and their traits.

Family Guy (Back to the Pilot):

One episode of Family Guy shows the family in 3D which is made to look like the traditional 2D style of animation. I find this interesting because they mix in 2D and 3D animation with Stewie and Brian behind 3D objects and shows the 2D characters interacting with them. The 3D animation was created by Atmospheric Visual Effects.

Courage the Cowardly Dog:

Courage the Cowardly Dog is mostly known for its weird aesthetic and 3D visuals. The most notably 3D scenes is from the season 4 finale episode "Perfect", where a creepy blue creature called The Bugle Monster appears in Courage's nightmares. In my opinion this was one of the most unsettling creatures in the series, when I first saw it. His face is human like while his body is unrealistic.

South Park (The Poor Kid):

Towards the end of South Park's season 15 episode "The Poor Kid" Kenny gets brutally attacked and eaten by a giant reptilian bird. I learnt that the giant reptilian bird is noticeably 3D animated with a texture of a bird on top of the 3D model.
