It had an excellent story, great acting and a heap of funny moments in it especially the scenes with Mushmouth in them. People seem to think that the majority of the film should have been related to the TV show but I don't even think that it needs that. It was a brilliant movie and I watch it continually as I have it on DVD.

i do agree with you about the animation but it was like the cartoon so i don't see the big deal vmf-1!
shareCan't say I hated the retouch, but it would have made more sense to show the cartoon the way it looked. I'm pretty sure it's possible to make new animation look old.
Kyle: It's bigger than Cartman's @$$!
Eric: No it isn't you guys
just barely passed for network tv animation. This was the period when most tv studios started sending storyboards overseas to save money on animation. TV animation budgets got to the point where you had to choose between having American animators stretching limited animation to the breaking point or sending it overseas where the salaries are lower and you could get more for your money. Supposedly, Filmation's He-Man was one of the more expensive shows at the time but it never looked it. It's the sort of show my parents can tell is badly animated- and they didn't study it in school.
I think there was a definite choice not to go with the Filmation style of animation because this was a feature. I think there's an eerie charm in reusing footage but to most people it reads as cheap. I find it kind of neat seeing the Gang in fuller animation for once.
