The animation looks like a pixar film for 7-9 year olds. The guy on stage had to try desperately to get enthusiasm from the crowd.
But man, if that's your outlook on a cinematic, I don't know how you get by on the day-to-day.08/23/2017 09:10 AMPosted by CelekogarThe animation looks like a pixar film for 7-9 year olds.
I don't really care who makes threads, and I didn't really pay attention to the OP. But I have an opinion on the topic, so here I am. o/08/23/2017 03:28 PMPosted by Cartis08/23/2017 03:20 PMPosted by OrnyxOpinions are opinions. I love the new "Hearthstone is Home" short and I love the Mei Overwatch short. They are both awesome storytelling pieces that bring a lot of life to both universes.
Also, Hearthstone makes me proud to play WoW. The awesome universe they've created is based within our own universe, and the team has really built an epic story experience taking place across Azeroth.
But this is the forums, so of course anyone who likes anything is an outcast, right? :P

Can't believe you responded to a thread that was created by someone with the maturity of 15 year old whose favorite show must still be Beavis and Butthead.
Come on, you're better than that.
Not necessarily. I've never been a huge Starcraft or Diablo fan, but I can still admire their work and such.Opinions are opinions. I love the new "Hearthstone is Home" short and I love the Mei Overwatch short. They are both awesome storytelling pieces that bring a lot of life to both universes.

I like HS though I am too busy with WoW and D3 and MtG to play anymore, but um aren't you kind of required to like other Blizzard products?
I meant it's a bit hard to get by in this day without seeing the works of studios such as Pixar, Disney, etc. So if you're turned off by a cinematic that reminds you of those animations styles, it's hard to imagine you enjoying any entertainment media in general. I get that you see it as a "childish" animation, but I personally think that the art style you're seeing is timeless, and, as we can easily see by Pixar and Disney's incredible success in their films over the last two decades, it's not going anywhere.

Not entirely sure what you mean by this. Looking at the cinematic, it does look like a pixar film for children. That's just the style it was seemingly made it, it even has a musical number to compliment that point.
My only issue is, I remember having epic, fantasy story worthy experiences going to places like Northrend or Outland for the first time. Going to Pandaria and fighting a war again the other faction. Taking that and saying its equivalent to the Hearthstone cinematic just doesn't feel right, and downplays the general theme associated with the game. It would be like taking a game like Fallout and then saying "and through this door you can visit the set of Little Einsteins".
I get by on the day-to-day same as most people I imagine. I enjoy my games, live my life, and point out the obvious when I feel it needs to be pointed out. My interpretation of a cinematic isn't something I would consider life damning.
