I think you missed my point: they put their energy into the writing, not the animation.

[TuringTest]

Maybe, but I think you missed mine: they were able to put all their energy into the writing because the animation had been made trivial by a new tool.

Had they had to draw the episodes the old-fashioned way, they would have had to put a lot more energy into the animation even to get the same result.

[bsenftner]

Yeah, agreed.
