Is it possible that there are episodes after season 1 to be produced using cel animation?

Weren't Procrastination and Your Shoes Untied animated like that? or do they just look it
 
To the best of my knowledge, everything after Season 1 is digitally animated. Even a few scenes in Season 1 are digital. Cel animation costs more and is more time consuming, and there's no reason why they would have switched back and forth between it and digital.

Those two episodes used a different color studio, didn't they? Both were digital.

They could have switched back, like if the power goes out or if the studio computers are broken.

I really don't think any after season one are cel, even if they look like it. The power would need to be out for approximately two consecutive months for them to not be able to do digital animation. Even if the power went out for a day, they'd have generators started up in minutes. Even cel animation involves computers, so there would be absolutely no point in switching back except if they made a special cel-animated episode for nostalgic fans like me, which they haven't done.

Cel animation has exisisted since the 1920s, so I don't think all cel animation uses computers.
 
Cell animation are time consuming and twuces as expensive. They also are not as good as digital animation. Financially, a company like Nickelodeon would never think to revert back to cell animation.

Well we know there were few post-1999 Cartoon Network shows at that time that still used it.

If the power was out or a computer was broken, production would have to stop to fix the problem. (Well, except the computer thing. Everything is on a network and can be accessed by any computer connected to it, so they'd just switch to a different computer.)

Computers, no. Light tables, yes. No power = no light table = no animating. (Or much less clean work, if you insist on working anyhow.)

You must like something about cel animation to keep pushing it, and that's fine, but the fact of the matter is that it's just not logical to work that way anymore. Unless you're a smaller studio or an individual animator working on a piece "for the art" without worrying about how much extra it would cost to make or how much longer it would take, cel animation is pretty much obsolete, unfortunately. :/
 
Nope. They wouldn't have randomly decided to do something more expensive like that for a few random episodes.

The colors being darker doesn't mean they were done with cels, it just means they were darker pallets on a digital program.
