Consider the extreme low quality visuals of SouthPark. They used their low quality imagery as joke enhancement for their presenting ideas far more sophisticated than the majority of animated media.


Exactly. And it only took a tool (Flash) that allowed a small team to do what used to require a whole company of trained experts (animated cartoons).


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


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.


Yeah, agreed.
