Finally I'm Cera :D

This poll is about which kind of animation we LBT fans like most. For me I prefer hand coloured cel animation in the first 6 films. I think the gang looked more cute and cuddle back then. Sure the digital inked and coloured animation makes everything look brighter and shiny and new, but for me it killed the gang's cute factors stone dead, as half the in the digital animation they look goofy and silly, and sometimes a bit creepy... (Though there are some scenes in the 1st film were they look a little creepy) And the animation in the TV show is dreadful, half the time the characters look like they haven't been drawn properly. So yeah on the whole I like old school cel animation me, for one think I tend to ink over and colour my drawings by hand. |

Well, this one is a bit tricky... If we were talking about the Original only, I'd vote for the hand drawn animation. The animation style of the first few sequels was similar to the style of the Original but it wasn't as good as in the Original movie by far. The characters looked cuter indeed, but the animation itself wasn't that great imo. On the other hand, we have the computer-made animation of the later sequels and the Tv-series. While I do like it, I don't think the animation has improved by much. The fact that the characters look brighter is a positive point in my view. Though I totally agree with you that some characters in the Tv- series are very poorly drawn. ![]() I can't really put a vote, sorry. |

I can't really add anything that Ducky hasn't already mentioned. Assuming that we are talking about a hypothetical where the quality of animation is ignored and it is only the kind of animation style that we are talking about, then I would prefer the computer-made animation of the later sequels. If, however, we take overall animation quality, then I would prefer the cell animation of the original and first few sequels. |

Let your heart guide you to the music!

Lol I can't vote either! After doing the "Littlefoot Styles" thread in character discussions, I'm able to tell the differences in each sequel a lot better now, but in choosing one 'half' over the other is just... too generalized for me lol

I'm a HUGE fan of animation in movies 7-11 and I wouldn't want exchange it for anything else. I don't think it was the right decision to put the original movie in the list along with first 5 sequels. the first sequels simply don't have that level of quality the original had, nor they have the outstanding quality of the later sequels. if I made this topic I'd make a lot more choices: 1. The orginal movie 2. movies 2-6 3 Movies 7-11 4 movies 12-13 5 the TV-series(I doubt anyone would vote for that though) so I voted for the newer animation, I simply love it. it brought the new life to LBT, sure the characters aren't as cute anymore, but they can't be cute forever(it's not The Simpsons where kids don't grow up at all), and they gotta grow up, at least a little, bit by bit. I think it's great that they became more self-confident, more mature looking and acting, more capable of making their own desicions, and at the same time this animation is also bright and increadibly beautiful, so the world also looks great itself |

Both have their own charm. I like bright colours, so I'm tempted to go for the 2nd option, but the animation was generally better and less repetitive in the first movie... so yeah Difficult

I'm getting INCREDIBLY sick of the decline in cartoon animation. I miss the days when the animation world was made up of really talented people, and no computers were necessary. They think it's cheaper and faster to produce movies the way they do (and maybe it is) but I really think that movies like Despicable Me and How To Train Your Dragon should NOT be considered cartoons like they are!

Although I agree that those movies would be much better in traditioal animation(and I personally hate 3D animation in general), this topic isn't about that. Later LBT sequels, drawn on computers, but using the traditional style of 2D animation are just incredble because of that. Mountains, highlights and shadings, highly detailed characters, and all that with 2D animation instead of 3D they would probably go with. LBT sequels(7-11) is my favorite example of 2D animation of all time! |

I think it pretty much depends what you prefer to spend. There are ups and downs to both Cell art and Digital art. First being, it takes longer for Cell Art to work, because each character is drawn individually. Plus, the background is constant and there are times where it doesn't actually complement the foreground of the characters. In the same manner, digital ink is pretty much bright, vivid, and less detailed, in terms of the movies themselves, which isn't that great. However, it is cheaper and quick to do, so it can help get sequels out in a short time's notice. IMO, it's pretty much Cell Art for me, though, solely due to the fact it just looks nicer and more distinguished. |
