Oh yeah... that's like my biggest pet peeve with the Shrek movies. The characters are too detailed and the humans are looking to realistic! Realism can be VERY boring. Especially in animation. It makes me think of old 3D cartoons I grew up with like Max Steel (if anyone remembers that one)
I don't have anything against 3D animation (used to, but I've repented, seen the light and made a change), both The Incredibles and Meet The Robinsons were WONDERFUL. Both story and animation-wise, and they're in my top ten movie list. Jimmy Neutron is also one of my favorite Nickelodeon series, and this is because the characters have... guess what?
CHARACTER DESIGN
There's no character design in realistic looking characters (like Justin's character in Shrek 3), which makes it boring to watch. It's like watching paint dry. Seen it. Seen it... Seen it. The reason I love animation so much (especially western) is because most of the time it's unique and inspiring
Wow, rant alert
