Lego Monkey Kid Season 5 - Tumblr Posts
Just watched the trailer.
You're right.
It almost feels like the first EVER Lego Ninjago animation but in 2D...
And also, a 3D armour?...
A FLIPPING 3D ARMOUR!?!?
I'm awake now lol, i'm gonna say my piece and i think im done talking about the animation for season 5 till anything new comes up.
This is the new studio that's working with the LMK team to make LMK. They are a good studio. They've made genuinely good shows with entertaining and fun animation. It isn't shown here, but they've also worked on Ninjago. Sonic prime's animation was amazing and so much fun to watch.
But that's the thing, each of their shows are either 3D or puppet 2D.
Puppet. 2D
that's why the season 5 trailer looks so off-putting. Because their specialty IS NOT 2D HAND DRAWN ANIMATION.
They are a genuinely good studio with well-made series, but LMK is not something within their specialty. LMK has been a show with dynamic and stylized animation, the animators curated over each new season.
This feels disrespectful af. and no I don't mean wildbrain.
Lego is the problem. Whoever the fuck is in charge of choosing studios, handling the budget. All of that stuff.
This is highly unprofessional and disrespectful to the show and to animation in general. This studio is not equipped to handle the style of LMK. This is the reason why it looks so...off. In my opinion, it's not even up to par to the average animated kids show because how of unequipped they are to handle LMK's style.
I've been hearing about budget cuts, strikes, and I genuinely hope that whatever is happening on the side we don't see gets sorted out for the better of the animators. honestly, they could have chosen a NUMBER of other animation studios that while they might not have been exactly the same...wouldn't be what we have.
it's okay to be disappointed in the animation. But please don't harass or blame the animators. This is the result of bad choices by leadership.
So if you're going to say anything. Please continue to show support for the show. Don't drop it because of the bad animation. That won't do shit. It'll just make things worse.
Continue to show support but go after Lego. Question Lego and their choices. Not the animators. They did their best with what they had after being handed a show with a style that they were not equipped to animate. Go after Lego.
Update:
So. Apparently people of this fandom have been sending death threats to Wildbrain's animators
