A waring to faithful dragonlance readers

Have you ever had a perfect image of something and had it shattered in a matter of seconds? Well unfortunately i have. I only had to watch the opening sequence and that was enough to burst my picture perfect idea of the world of Krynn. If you do see Krynn in a certain way in your mind, you would not be able to stomach the animation. Even though i only saw those few moments it was enough to bring me to tears (seriously). I had to "cleanse" myself afterwards by looking at the animation book, reaffirming the way they are in my mind. Did they decide to blow their whole budget on the voice talent and then realise they needed pictures to go with it? It seriously looked like low budget cartoons I used to watch early Saturday mornings when I was a kid in the nineties. Well there it is, if anyone has the same image of Krynn as i do PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE TORTURE AND KEEP IT IN YOUR MIND WERE IT WILL ALWAYS BE PERFECT.
