Disney was first to do a full-length cell animation, yes, though there were a handful of full-length stop-motion animation films before Snow White (The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the oldest surviving, is up on archive.org).

I've also read conflicting ideas on who did the multiplane camera first specifically for depth of field -- Ub Iwerks is generally credited with having created the first version after he left Disney, but there's some speculation that he saw prospective plans the Disney studios had already engineered and just happened to build and put his into use first (Fleischer Studios had also made and was using a funky cousin of the eventual multiplane around then, too). Though Disney Studios refined the hell out of the technique, in either case.

At any rate: Disney Studios definitely have an innovation mindset behind their techniques. But I think Miyazaki is more apt to say "The traditional ways (usually) work best (for my work)."

In an interview with The Guardian, he said that he thinks CGI has the potential to equal or surpass hand-drawn work, but that it's basically too late for him to be that person. He doesn't have a problem with other Studio Ghibli directors or productions using CGI. Plus, not all of Miyazaki's films are 100% hand-drawn, either. The CGI when there is minimal, but the effort to make it blend in with the hand-drawn when it was first used in one of his films did require some innovation for its time, plus the willingness to say "this will do it better".

(This being the Internet, none of this is to say that you should therefore like Miyazaki's stuff more or Disney Studio's less or whatever. The comparison feels kind of apple-y orange-ish to me, personally. It also seems like it feeds into the thinking that animation is a genre, rather than a medium.)
