Dumb question, but how are these novel compared to Bugs Bunny other than presumably being cheaper to animate? I see some hype but don't really get it
other than presumably being cheaper to animate?
I would assume they're more difficult to animate, considering the detail and realism.
But the difference is people are used to real but idealized peole as influencers. Virtual influencers fit that aesthetic. cartoon characters don't
I mean, Bugs Bunny was pretty successful considering we're still talking about him in 2023...
