Animation is serious bizness
Please remember that these are grown men, some are old enough to your father and should be shown respect due to their years of experience and wisdom.

Over on the AWN forums Mr Mankind starts by posing a controversial question and softening the impact with his post Is 2D animation basically dead?.

It all starts nice and polite on the first page (I’m in there with my 2 cents). The discussion gets interesting and a good debate gets going on page 2.

On page 3 it gets serious. Mr Mankind is bemused by the reaction to his thoughts.

DrSpectre start to show his angst. As far as I'm concerned, 2D is a back-stabbing industry where ass-kissing skills combined with the ability to produce predictably mediocre results on a deadline will get you "in". Not a happy bunny.

We have a possible flounce.

Ken needing lip gloss was spotted here.

Mr Mankind posts some more cartoons that weren’t his. It’s total WWIII on page 6 before the moderator comes in and locks the post for further posting.

It’s short and so sweet.

Never mind – we have The Poll.

I just hope I don’t get banned for posting this.

It can't be too infamous, I can't find anything about it on the innertubes and I'm curious as to what a plastic branch is now!

Well, there's a part where some characters are standing on a branch and a pokemon pops out, and the added weight causes the branch to bend under them. And the characters are animated fine, but the branch, which is CG, is incredibly fake and plastic looking. The end result is unbelievably stupid. Which is a shame because they also have a really nice looking CG mech in the same film (two of them actually!). But that one shot stands out as a massive WTF and I'm really surprised the sites I'm checking don't have anything about it, since it's what fans always talk about when the movie airs on tv.
