User blog comment:BabySmurf3/Empath: The Movie/@comment-1323688-20120103124529

Just my thought on the subject: for those who would want this to be straight-up 2D animation, I don't think it would truly do the story, or the character, any justice to have it be anything less than CGI. To really emphasize Empath's struggle with wanting to be a Smurf given the Psychelian taboos of nudity and emotional expression of any sort, it would have to be just about as real as the CGI from the Smurfs movie, right down to physical textures.
