I would rather die standing than live on my knees.
What Neutron lacks in fancy bazillion dollar effects it makes up for in cartoony designs. Unlike Shrek or even Monsters to an extent, it isn't ashamed to be a cartoon
When these movies came out, the knownothings in the media orgasmed over how "it looks so real, you won't believe it's a cartoon!", as if being animated was a drawback. It was cutting edge for the time, but 24 years later it only looks a couple steps above Lawnmower Man
Jimmy didn't have the budget Shrek had, and the styles of the DNA crew (Paul Claerhout, Keith Alcorn) were already more on the cartoony side, so they decided to go in a different, and in my opinion more appealing direction
Cartoon fans have always had sort of an inferiority complex or "Rodney Dangerfield Syndrome" where they always feel "the man is holding a brotha down, nobody respects us", most of the time it's a bit exhausting, but it didn't come from nowhere
