Who would still prefer a 2D animated show?

Utromshredderhater · 07-31-2011, 06:53 PM

I'm just asking considering the rather low want for anymore computer animation

*gobo* · 07-31-2011, 07:19 PM

Ooh! Ooh! ME!! ^_^

*VaughnMichael* · 07-31-2011, 07:26 PM

Yes, to be quite honest I'm really not pleased with the cg designs.
It all looks like it's made out of clay.

**Jester** · 07-31-2011, 07:30 PM

Well it's too late now, so suck it up!

*Powder* · 07-31-2011, 07:51 PM

I'd prefer it, but it's no biggie. The show just needs to be worth watching is all.

Thanks, Powder. I'm glad you think this will be worth watching anyway.

Still, I actually LOVE the new CGI animation. I do prefer the 2k7 look, but this new look they're getting is amazing and original.

The OT animation was not bad, just mostly for the kids. The turtles looked kind of cute.

The 2k3 animation, to me, was not the best. There was not enough light and shadow, I guess. Plus, no one looked as cool as soon as I read the 84 Comic issues.

Maybe in the future, there will be a 2D animated show, giving them a 1984 look in the contemporary world. Think of it like a Batman: Brave and the Bold show.

Still, I love their new look.

*ToTheNines* · 07-31-2011, 08:22 PM

Nope. This show can make up for the turtles' past failure in the CGI medium.

You've seen animation of the new show?

Only for the turtles. I wish to see more, though. But I'm confident this will be great. I don't mind the look for the new Green Lantern series. So hopefully, this will be good, too.

*Eiko* · 07-31-2011, 10:01 PM

I would prefer animated but not a big deal really. I really like the designs of the new turtles just hope the show is good.

Zog the Equalizer · 07-31-2011, 11:31 PM

At first I was really leery about the cg animation, but now that I've seen the designs I actually really like them so I have high hopes for the new show

*ssjup81* · 07-31-2011, 11:34 PM

I prefer 2D. They look too blocky or something in CG, but not much I can do about that. As long as the quality (characterization, story, etc.), is okay, it won't matter too much to me.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 08-01-2011, 09:46 AM

The animation needs to work in the confines of the stories they are trying to tell. Of they think a CG style will work better for what they are going for then I say go for it. I personally still prefer 2D animation for most things. CG to me always seems to age poorly but 2D withstands the test of time if the story is solid.

A good example of this is Beast Wars. They had awesome stories but when watched now the CG looks clunky. It isn't as well done as it used to be, but at the time it was ground breaking. If it had been 2D the cluncky animation wouldn't pull you out of it.

*Sage Ninja* · 08-01-2011, 10:44 AM

after seeing the amazing animation in other current shows that use 2D animation (like young justice league) I have to say that yeah, I really do prefere a 2D animated show. I just think it looks better and more "organic" than the mechanical look of CGI.

A little *too* Raph · 08-01-2011, 11:01 AM

I almost always prefer 2d animation over 3d. So yes.

That and the proportions are awful. They took some influence from the movie design and I wish they didn't. I hate that skinny leg giant calf crap. I also really don't like or see the point of the third toe.

But to answer the topic question I'd take 2D over 3D anyday anytime. I saw some clips of the new Green lantern show and it looks really bad and out dated I fear turtles will look like that too.

*plastroncafe* · 08-01-2011, 11:56 AM

It would really depend on the quality of the 2D animation in question.

papa_smurf73 · 08-01-2011, 11:59 AM

Wow... Good question. I do enjoy watching the standard cartoon series, but I'm interested to see how the CGI plays out.

As long as the content is solid, I think I'll be happy with either or.

My sentiments, exactly, Powder.

Quite honestly, I like both kinds of animation, as long as either is done correctly and well, and don't look like a brain-dead babbon did it

*Cowabunga Carl* · 08-01-2011, 02:02 PM

Whitewolf89 I think you nailed it when you said "as long as either is done correctly and well". If you look at some of Nick's CG programs it's a toss up. But the same could be said for the 2D. I have faith though that we are in for a treat.

marcelangelo · 08-01-2011, 03:59 PM

well, here's my two cents on this one quickly...
I love classic animation and remain impressed with what can be done in this technique...I accept the computers as just another tool to use in that respect, however I must say that most movies and pieces of cg animation does seem to look and feel similar to it's competition(at least to me), but that is not to say that cgi can't stand out from one another...

leo565 you mustn't forget that the 2k3 series used highly stylised characters and surroundings, while as the animators of the ot drew the surroundings for example to resemble reality....I disagree with you on the light and shadow point you brought up...
I loved both shows and am quite excited and happy about what I have read and seen so far on the new show...I only hope nickelodeon, as a world wide operating network, does give us the turtles at the same time around the globe!!!!
