The OVER usage of CG?

I thought i'd make a complete U-turn and unless the last idea i had (which was indie gaming and developers) i thought i'd research and share my opinion on the OVER-usage of CG in children's TV nowadays (I use the word OVER subjectively, you may think differently".

I personally am not a fan of this as I'm a solid believer in 2d cel/digital has a lot more offer in terms of ANIMATION. I understand that CG has become a lot cheaper but i personally thing it only works well in high budget idea's rather than low budget shows for CBBC. The perfect example i can think of is "Jakers! The Adventures Of Piggley Winks." The story of an anthropomorphic Irish Pig.

Now i personally aren't a fan of this, being interested in animation (and being a student) i found

myself on the CBBC channel a few times and have watched some funny things, along with some

awful things, and this (for me) falls into the awful. I won't say that it's poorly done because it's

not...the animation is quite smooth and all the characters are nicely modeled but i think it's

just loss something in the development process. From the few episodes i've watched

(didn't want to judge it after watching one episode) i found that the "Principles" of animation

that are so highly sort after weren't there. Models are incredibly hard (through a somewhat

poor experience) to animate in terms of making them loose and making them fluid, where as 2d

can be as wacky as you want. Squashing and stretching is something that isn't converted well

into cg.
