There are some high production value movies, and those do include proper lip syncing. A few of those from 10+ years ago have fully hand-drawn sequences of fully 3D mechanical objects (robots, jets, tanks, etc.) turning and twisting, while perspective shifts to reproduce the effect of a camera zoom being applied. I think it’s safe to say that, that sort of work is more impressive than anything Disney ever did.
That just means that those sections were animated using 3D computer animation and a 2D cell shader was applied, or was used as the basis for rotoscoping.
Disney pioneered it in The Great Mouse Detective Here’s the final scene, with a chase through the gears of Big Ben.
