I think it is ridiculous to both force people not to do sprite movies as well as forcing the audience to like them.
Having done quite a lot of sprite movs myself I think its safe to say they don´t take pretty much any effort to make compared to a hand drawn flash because appart from drawing, you have to actually learn how to draw and animate before getting started on something more complex. no offense.
A drawn flash is still simply a trivial thing as far as animation goes.
I honestly think sprite movies are the kind of things you stop liking at a certain age... I dont watch them anymore. I dont hate them but aaah. I dont enjoy them either. And yes they are very overrated but in the end that degree of overratedness will never see life out of this site and trivial e-trophies
so my point is...
who cares?
