Do you judge a cartoon based on animation?

[andrehamson]

I usually care more about the writing in a show than it's animation, though I love a good art style as well. Basically, as long as it's not so terrible that it hurts my eyes, I'll give the show a chance.

Mike Judge's animated shows are pretty painful to look at, but the writing carried them through. Ditto South Park.

I care more about the storyline, but if the voices are too annoying to listen to or the color scheme is too jarring, then I won't bother. Decent character (and background) designs are also important for me.

I would love great animation but if the story is enjoyable then I'll watch it. Well, as long as the animation is decent in my eyes.

Yes I do.

That's not my sole criteria on judging cartoons though. Writing and voice acting are also a big part of what makes a great cartoons or a terrible one. But without animation they'd just be radio plays.

Writing and characters are more important for me enjoying cartoons; however animation is still a factor in it.

This is pretty much the reason I just can't watch the first season of Chaotic.

I mean, I'm sure the stories are as good as the ones in MI, but I just can't get past the flash animation in the first 40 episodes.

It's better if the animation is better, nicer to look at,
but as long as I can at least see what's going on,
I'll watch to see if I like it in general.

You could'nt care less???? what if it was drawn by a 1st grader?


Considering animation is basically what a Cartoon is I would say its fairly improtant. I think a toons should have Good animation as well as good story & characters.
