That was "Xerography", which they invented for the late 60's and early 70's films, starting with 101 Dalmatians: A new process where, instead of hiring artists to trace over the drawings, they could simply copier-print the paper drawings onto the cel before coloring, and save months of work time. Unfortunately, yes, it did look "sketchier" than their early classics, since the drawings weren't as creatively cleaned up before finishing.

The main thing I remember about this one is it being in that "sketchy" style Disney tried out for a while with this one and Oliver and Co. (another forgettable one)

This is not technically considered one of the classics—the 70’s were a bad time for the studio—but the studio tried to remarket this because their French audience loves any Disney movie set in Paris (Hunchback, Ratatouille, Beauty & the Beast), and they couldn’t figure out why their Paris theme park guests were going crazy over Aristocats references, and their US audience didn’t even remember it. 😅
