Animation is a wonderful medium. Animation is fantastic for satire, central to children’s entertainment, and a way to build entire worlds.
Animation is also insanely expensive, very slow, and extremely linear. Play a video game and you see a games engine creating animation in real time on the fly. It makes everything up, from every possible angle in every possible order, as it goes along.
