The Critic isn't particularly limited animation, is it? sjorford →•← 15:52, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ehhh, "particularly"? I think basically all TV animated series are limited, since it would be too expensive, time-consuming and difficult to make something like 10 different 20-30 minutes episodes for a season with full animation (24 frames a second or something). A Disney animated feature was generally about 1-1 1/2 hours and took several years to produce, the company only managed to release one movie a year because they had three different studios working full-time. (Although now, even Disney seems to have gone over to computer animation.) I think it's strange that you use the word "particularly", but compare for instance "Fantasia"/"Dumbo" or "Aladdin" with "The Critic", and it should be obvious what I mean. 85.226.122.222 17:24, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Adventures of Prince Achmed

The article states: "The UPA studio made the first serious effort to abandon the ultra-realistic approach perfected by Disney." I believe this to be untrue, as "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" precedes Disney's "Snow White" by a decade.
