Does it bother you that they use computers to animate South Park these days?

[Deja Q]

it used to be cel-based cardboard animation but now it's clearly computer animated... :(

1. But the end result is the same

A cartoon fart is cartoon fart. How the fart came to be matters not to me.

3. It's been computer animated all along

except for the original pilot and the first episode made for Comedy Central which were done with construction paper cut-outs.

2. I think it's great, actually...

lets them turn around an episode in a week or so and be amazingly timely with current events, instead of taking months like cel animation

South Park has never been about nuanced animation in the least... Terrance and Philip was a reaction to critics who said the South Park animation was shitty. "We'll show 'em SHITTY."

Although I love how Canadians all have the two-piece heads that bounce around

5. in my day it was done with construction paper and thats the way we liked it!

6. They have used computers for a long time.

I recall watching a behind-the-scenes on TV years ago in which one of the animators was moaning about how he was using all this expensive state-of-the-art equipment to animate a piece of poo.

7. not really

for me it's all about the writing. if the show is funny, i don't care how it is produced.

then again, i am a much more audio based than visually based
