I loved that episode back in the day; even today it looks nice. The key was that they understood the limitations and made the most of it as an original aesthetic rather than getting too excited with the tech and overreaching with what it could do.
Anyway, the Magic Carpet Escape was also exciting for what it was but it simply didn't gel with the rest of the artwork and visual style as (comparatively) well as stuff like the Cave Entrance did (or the magic carpet itself, which after all was animated traditionally with the CG being merely the "color")
