You're talking about the "uncanny valley" phenomenon, aren't you?
And I agree, some things are meant for traditional animation.
CGI will eventually look old. Animation never will.
I'm also touching base on the concept of "the picture plane". Which allows more abstract images to be accepted on the merits of their concepts, and not their abilities to look realistic.
Never heard of that one, interesting. Thank you.
I recently saw Snow White again, old as fuck and still an amazing movie with so much love behind it. I doubt we will have people talk positively about most of those live action remakes in 20odd years. They already know how to make something remembered for decades to come, yet they choose to date themselves by making it cgi live action which will look like shit in a couple years at best.
One...frame...at a time.
And yet so incredibly smooth.
The traditional ways are still the best.
