When last visiting Hollywood Studios, the "One Man's Dream" attraction, and seeing the exhibit for the multiplane camera, I began to wonder if it's still used to create animated films or shorts today. Was it used in the "Princess & the Frog"?

Recently watching "Tarzan" and "Hunchback of Notre Dame" it looks like the camera could have been used in those films as well, as each movie has an impressive feeling of depth of scene. It would be sort of amazing if it were still used in the age of "everything computer "considering "the multiplane" was invented in the early 1930's.

No it was not used in any of the films. Though The Princess and the Frog was a hand drawn masterpiece, it used conventional means of making the background out of focus to give the multi-plane camera effect.
