Imagine. She's got her Avengers candy bag. She's dressed up as The Wasp for Halloween, escorted by her father, Paul Rudd, who played Ant-Man, in the actual blockbuster film, Ant-Man and the Wasp. But he's decided to go as Weird Al Yankovic

CGI animation often lacks that clarity of staging, because these are 3D characters constructed to make sense from any angle. It's possible to warp and cheat them to move in a more stylized way, but this takes a lot of effort, rather than being built into the process in a drawing.

In animation you create key poses which are then inbetweened. As in this example by Preston Blair, the key poses are supposed to be very clear with strong silhouettes and staging, which may be cheated a little (or a lot) to look good from a single camera angle.

An animator wouldn't purposely draw something like this. The characters look very solid like toys. In 2D you'd call it lifeless. An artist would push this to give a sense of stretching and movement,to show the characters at the angles where they look best. This staging is unclear

The ironic thing is that some of the world's top traditional animators did work on this film, but not on the CGI main characters (left). They worked on the very short cameos by 2D-animated background characters like Roger Rabbit, MC Skat Kat, and the Three Little Pigs (right).

An example where this problem was avoided is the Hotel Transylvania series. Genndy Tartakovsky's work is very stylized, designed to be very flat and seen from very specific angles. It's also very cartoony, and he found that the CGI animators weren't getting that across at first.

In the 2010 My Little Pony TV series, characters were rigged to appear certain ways at certain angles, to allow for more limited TV animation. These models look like those from the Gameloft mobile video game,which can't use any of those cheats,and compromises between those views.

The animators doing the 2D background characters here have worked on animated films of incredible beauty, like Klaus, The Thief and the Cobbler, Fantasia 2000, and other films from Disney, Warner Bros and Don Bluth. They should be animating the leads, not doing background cameos.

It's all about clarity of staging. It is possible in animation to always know "where the camera is" and make the key posing stronger and clearer. The second pose is basically just a different angle, but feels more "live action" or "inbetween," and would be unclear in silhouette.

They weren't stretching and squashing the characters, because they thought it had to be realistic in a real-world way. He kept pushing them to do more extreme posing and push the characters like 2D. This wasn't obvious to a CGI team, whereas a hand-drawn artist starts there.
