BRING BACK TRADITIONAL ANIMATION ALREADY GODDAMMIT

[spatch]

Just saw the trailer for Hoodwinked.

Holy crap. It looks terrible. It doesn't even look like someone's demo reel from back when teapots, brushed chrome spheres and checkerboards were all the rage. I did better animation with my 486/66, a copy of POVray, and two nights' worth of rendering. (It was called Purvis The Blob and it wibbled.)

And this one defies all logic. Or maybe you'd like to explain to me why the cows (as evidenced by their udders) are speaking in tough guy voices?

I don't want to hear anything about how it's supposed to be for the kids, blah blah woof woof. Kids deserve better.

I saw the "Hoodwinked" trailer a little while back and was appalled by it too. But I can't really blame it on CGI. What's happening is that we started out with the CGI equivalents of "Snow White" and "Fantasia" from Pixar, and now the medium's Hanna-Barberas and Filmations are getting in on the action with low-end garbage.

Good point. The parade of cheap studios has begun!
