Does dated CG animation turn you off from watching shows? - Page 2

Honestly, OP, I'd rather watch regular 2D animated renditions than 3D CGI but I won't say that the latter puts me off watching the show. I prefer the style of the first still image of the turtles Nick released earlier this month but I don't mind the CG, which will definitely be improved in the near future.

Depends. If the CG was meant to look realistic, then it does turn me off; but if the CG was meant to be stylized, then it doesn't turn me off at all.

Perfect examples:

Beast Wars - It may or may not have tried to look realistic, but it certainly looks dated, and if it didn't hold nostalgia for me, I would struggle to watch it.

Beast Machines - Highly stylized, and it still looks amazing to this day.

It looks like Nick is going the stylized route, so I'm happy.

And heck, even hand drawn 2D animation can look dated. Look at episodes in the first few seasons of the Simpsons, Family Guy, and Futurama compaired to more recent ones? The animation has gotten better. But some of those episodes I still love, because the story is good and the jokes are strong.
