Alright, call me a full retard, a delusional drone, maybe I am. But I actually think CGI is not that bad of a thing.
In fact I think it allows for, and makes characters to be more expressive, especially the facial animations. When each frame of subtle movement is drawn in 2d, it would feel over-animated, you know, the "animators are trying so hard to animate, when there's so little to animate" or whatever that meme was. It feels like like characters are breathing and real, instead being of cardboard cut-outs with just the flip-flopping mouths.
Though, that's basically only thing that it's good at. It kind of looks good in motion and close-ups, but it absolutely can't produce good stills like >>280414843
Also one thing that I don't understand in HNK 2026 >>280392770 , for some reason nobody has separate teeth and just one solid full tooth.
