True, but also half-truth. Animators have been TERRIFIED animating realistic humans not necessary because it was so hard or because the audience will notice imperfections and throw popcorn at the screen. Half of the reason is the fear itself. You see, fear is more often than not illogical. And artists are more sensitive, shy, OCD, and paranoid than most people. I would know. Don't ask how I know. And so, when you animate one of them talking aminals, whether they be feral, semi-anthro, or full anthro, you know (or at least strongly believe) the audience will not care about the potential imperfection. And so, less afraid, you just animate without worry. And the end result looks fucking great. And it looks great because you animated with your feat and OCD being relatively low.
In case you're a little lost, this shit it hard to put into words. And yes, I'm serious.
