GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Not really digging the character designs or the everything looks like it's made out of rubber animation style.

I'm afraid it's going to look incredibly outdated within three years. Even now it looks kind of clunky. I didn't really get into The Batman animated series, but at least it was beautifully done with some interesting designs.
Oh well - Brave and the Bold is on Netflix and that's good enough for me.

A commenter on another site said the animation reminded them of Reboot back in the 90's. I wouldn't go quite that far, but it's still pretty bad.
I'm also disappointed in the trend away from traditional animation (though I am well aware it's far more labor-intensive than CGI). I love the Pixar movies, but few can do it remotely as well as they do.
I just like the aesthetic of hand-drawn animation (though I realize even that gets computer help these days) over most CGI.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
At least Disney is still keeping their toes wet with the mixed CGI/hand-drawn technique used for Paperman. Here's hoping the Oscar the short won encourages them to keep trying traditional animation in some form.
