To be fair, Pixar isn't the company making The Nut Job. Its a Canadian animation studio. If anything Pixar does a really good job of giving life/heart to their characters (imo). Wall-E is a great example. I can't think of very many studios that could make a character that doesn't speak but still has so much personality.

That said, I'd love to see more games with traditional 2D art. Wario Land Shake It looked beautiful on the Wii and, of course, the new Rayman games have been great.

I wasn't ragging on the story or anything and Nutjob was just an example.  That animation style just doesn't have the same personality (from the animation) that I see with hand drawn stuff.  Maybe it's nostalgia but I'm pretty sure there's a big audience that agrees with me.  The only reason I didn't pull the trigger on Legends on BF was because of the rumor of next gen versions and now I'll be holding out for the PS4 one.  That game looks phenomonal (plus I have a 5 game backlog before I get AC4 and BF4 for Christmas so it would have been buried anyway which is why it should have come out early in the year or Summer)

Ah ok, I probably just misunderstood what you meant. I do tend to prefer 2D animation as well. Maybe its the stuff I grew up with and nostalgia, like you were saying, but something about it just resonates better with me. As much as I enjoyed the recent Green Lantern cartoon (RIP) I still think it would've looked so much better if it was done in the style of Young Justice (also RIP).
