Is anyone else disappointed the crossover isn't a 2-parter?

Cubed...(Pinches bridge of nose) This episode hasn't aired yet and aside from the animatic aired at Comic Con and the recent clip we have no idea how the episode is going to go.

You would be surprised how much stuff can be stuffed into 30 seconds. Heck the old Garfield and Friends used to have 30 second shorts called Quickies. And they are very concise and to the point of what they have to offer.

And before you say that the animation is different and that's how it is able to maintain the 30 second time frame. I've done an animation class before and I have used 3D animation programs such as Maya in said class which is not an easy program to use. But much like any form of animation be it hand drawn, 3D, or Flash you have to time a characters movements so they remain fluid.

For example a character reaching for a can on a shelf done over the span of 30 seconds would feel too slow. Where as a character reaching for can on the shelf, taking it down, opening it, and pour the contents into a bowl, and taking it to a table to eat it can be done in a 30 second time frame. Such as this Calvin and Hobbies Cartoon short that someone put together.

So 22 minute may not seem like an ideal time frame for a cross over, but it could turn out to be just enough time to establish something that could open a window to future encounters with the OT cast.

As Craig McCracken says: I really want people to enjoy a show for what it IS and not get mad at it for what it ISN’T.
