And I have to agree.  I sit with my kids and watch some of the computer
generated animation shows on the kids channels, and they can't tell the
difference between those and traditional cartoons.  These shows knock me for
a loop, considering the effort that must go into creating a single episode,
let alone a series.

Perhaps those of us who have "been around for a while" are a little more
aware of the obstacles that have been overcome to get to where we are today,
in such a relatively short time.  Moreso in this industry, where we (at
least) have an idea of the technology behind the making of excellent
computer animation, Java, etc.  I'll bet old B & W television was extremely
impressive when it was introduced, but I took the color set for granted when
it entered my living room as a kid.


Just my thoughts...
