Nobody said it would.
Although it would likely open up more possibilities. You can do a heck of a lot with the limited poses, expressions, and backgrounds, but you can still only do so much.

Well? I think that would be pretty interesting. |

How would the style of animation make the content any different? |

We would have to wait even longer for updates. |

Hah, "even longer". Speaking as someone with a flash toon, I have NO idea how tbc squeeze making an entire toon per week. My reaction would be to assume they have no social lives and perhaps some kind of time machine, but infuriatingly that's probably not true. And it'd mean we'd get more action, more varied scenarios most likely (if the background is redrawn every scene or so, there's less reason not to experiment with different settings) and less snappy dialogue, and the entire mood of the cartoon would change. |

do the math ( i dont have any calculators or the computer calculators but i think its 0.35) |

Actually, from what I remember it only takes them about a day to make a sbemail, so i figure the rest of the week is spent dealing the store and goofing off. |

You know, it'd be pretty cool if there was a short toon in a different style of animation. Lots of work, but it's a challenge. Or whatever. |

To be fair they'd probably use cels like actual animators do, so they could still reuse the backgrounds I think it would make an interesting novelty to see one H*R toon in traditional animation, but I can't imagine their being must justification to do it very often |

Yeah, they do, but (correct me if I'm wrong) in Flash, they are called 'symbols'. I agree with Schmelly. I think that it would be a cool thing if they did it for one episode just for a change. |

Traditional animation is rarely used anyways on the TV and the like. Most of them have changed (Simpsons, KoTH...) |

They still have the same look and feel as traditional animation, though, except for the odd occasions where the use of underlying 3D graphics is obvious. (Futurama did this a lot... at times it felt like it was all, "HAY LOOK GUYS WE'RE IN 3D BUT IT LOOKS TEH 2D". Like the million ways they'd rotate around the Planet Express building.) Homestar Runner, on the other hand, definitely looks and feels like a Flash cartoon. (Which still isn't a bad thing...) - Kef |

I have a feeling that complicating the animation would cause a lot of the novelty to be lost. Just compare the original Astro Boy anime to the recent one on Cartoon Network. The old one was way funnier, though possibly unintentionally. |

How are we defining "traditional" animation here, anyway? The way most cartoons on TV are done nowadays? Genuine old-timey stuff from the 20's or 30's? Nightmare-inducing cut-as-many-corners-as-possible Synchro-Vox style? (I think that last one could potentially be pretty hilarious.) |

We're talking hand-drawn cel animation. |

not to be technical or anything but they do kinda hand draw them before they become part in a episode in the sketchbook. like strong sads astronaut costume, the jolly green helmet, and keep on trucking. they drew those and they made them into an episode so it's kind of half-baked with the animation ritual. |

that would actually be pretty dang cool. Maybe they could mix it with the Krantz Films style of animation for maximum impact (something about those ridiculously cheapskate approaches to animation is actually weirdly compelling to me) |

I think part of what makes Homestar what it is includes the flash animation. I'm not convinced that the cartoon would improve by changing the animation and if they turn it into the same animation as you see on TV, it would seem too "commercial" to me. I think I would lose all interest in Homestar if the animation was changed. |

It would be kinda funny to them exploding with TNT's and Anvils smashing them, litttle stars floating around there head a huge gross lump on there head, there eyes bursting out of the sockets and when they're in love they would have heart pupils, there tongue would roll out like a red carpet and his heart would pulsate through his chest. Also when they run off a cliff they wouldn't realise and then look down and a few moments later fall down a large chasm i spend to much time watching Roadrunner |
