If the movie was animated with TVPaint

[Plonkett 345]

Since we've learned that the MLP movie was animated with Toon Boom Harmony, it made me wonder, how do you think it would've looked if it was animated with TVPaint? Unlike Harmony, which is a vector based program, TVP is a raster based program, and is closer to traditional drawing. Here is an example of an animation done with TVP.

I don't think this style would fit for theatrical animation.

It would largely depend on talent, budget, and general direction, but it could very well look amazing. However, the opposite is true as well.

 

As it stands though I am pretty content with Toon Boom.

Then again, 95% of the time Toon Boom is used for cartoon shows, TV specials, and direct-to-video films, but movies like this and The Princess and the Frog are rare exceptions. In TVPaint however, with the right budget it could be on par with the traditional animated Disney films from the past 25+ years!

Here's another animation done with TVPaint, looks a lot better than the other one I showed.
