Doubt it. That's the problem with Flash animation. It's easy to make
something that's all designery and looks good to marketing reps and then
you can make the characters look just like the designs. All you have to
do is sacrifice grace and motion. But hey, animation's not about that.
It's about selling crappy merchandize to breeding couples who want to
silence their sprog for 5 minutes.
