Frozen has gorgeous animation and it's an awful movie. Good animation definitely means possibility and some effort was made in the budget. However, the animation in the Aladdin sequels sucks but the movies themselves are good.
I guess it's important to an extended, I mean lazy or ugly movie animation isn't really going to get much attention in the public and is probably most likely to be bashed by critics if everything else isn't especially well.(which rarely happens) But, most of the time people do love stunning animation and graphics though people aren't going to hate it or love it because of the animation.I watched many reviews and they barely even mention it unless the story is supposed to revolve around the expressions and the design of the characters/buildings. For example Fantasia is a movie that relays on the expressions and atmosphere of the movie's look to get attention and praise. I guess overall it depends on the movie wither it matters that much or not.
As an animation student I can switch off from plot and focus on animation technique.
Which makes for a different viewing experience, almost like an animation exhibition of skill, rather than a packaged movie.
Still a good animation viewing experience, doesn't mean that needs to tie in with a good movie experience.
That aside I still prefer plot over visuals. But I can just focus on one element for observation, technique-wise, and still be....educated I suppose. But again this comes from a student perspective rather than general viewing perspective.
^"Good animation means good animated" I'm not sure if that was a coherent sentence. "It's almost just past tense and present tense"... Was that supposed to be an analogy, or...?
^Maybe Riku means the key word is "animated", so if you have good animation that equals a good "animated" film. I don't exactly think she worded it right, but what I think she was trying to say makes sense.
Animated films and shows also need a good plot, good voice acting, a good script, good sound and music, a good atmosphere, and so many other things. Horrible voice acting and a horrible script especially can kill a well-animated film.
They put too much focus on the animation and not much on the plot.

I've seen shows/movies with GREAT animation but could be VERY boring
ITs almost just past tense and present tense......
@Zeppie EXACTLY.
