So, just the pig?

Sadly not, there are a vast array of children's shows out there that use CG as there format. Here are a list of just a few. The shame here is some animations that originally started as Stop motion have been pushed aside and been replaced by CG, Below for example.

Chapman Entertainment--

This isn't the original Bob the builder which we all know was "Stop motion". This is in fact the spin off and I'm

guessing for both money and time they switched to cg to bang a few of these out. That's my point entirely they

are made to be made in bulk and with low costs, surely that alone is just cutting the passion and the heart out of

animation? Yes stop motion took longer but you felt each movement was special.

Pukeko Pictures --

The Wot Wots is a funny one because for what they needed to do, they had to use CG. They

"COULD" of used puppets but maybe that would of been too limiting. I wouldn't really consider

this bad as after all it's for young children but it's all personal preference, i'm not a huge fan.

Ian Falconer --

Not much to say here, looks horrible is animated horribly and well....Not a fan.

Nelvana --

Cute - Check

Reasonably well animated - Check

Child friendly - Check.

Does it make it a good animation yes! Does it mean i'll enjoy it...No.

This is where hypocrisy wriggles it's way in because i absolutely love a certain show but it's CGI.

This name?...Pocoyo.

Zinkia Entertainment --

It's stupidly cute, STEVEN FUCKING FRY narrates it and i have a huge soft spot for it.

No reason why i just do.

I wouldn't like to think that this renders my whole argument invalid because pocoyo has a

certain charm that the others i linked don't. His movement, the simplicity of the white

background, his animal friends. All of those add up to something full of charm and well done

animation.
