Anonymous asked: I hope this isnt a bother but you rebloged a tintin post and I saw your tags and was wondering what your problem with snowy were? (Character? Animation??)??? Not trying to start anything I just really like your view on things and was wondering what you meant by that?! :)

oh gosh now I feel bad XD but yeah it was just a hybrid of the animation and character design- out of all the characters both he and the cat he chases in one of the scenes felt the most ‘uncanny valley’; having said that they were still very accomplished, but compared to the finish on the human characters it just sticks out if you’re sensitive to that kind of thing (or it did to me, you’re welcome to disagree I mean hell it’s not like I could replicate it myself hot damn). The real pity is that in the tests that were part of the pitch Snowy’s model was different and looked much more natural, so idk maybe it’s just a personal thing having spent so much of my life around animals and in animation but there are moments with him that bug me.
