The characters are probably the biggest offenders, not because of how they look (Although the hyper-realistic fur is a bit jarring considering not even real-life puppets look that detailed), but because of how they’re implemented. I assume they were trying to replicate the style of the Assault cover with the character sandwiched in between the title and the scene, but why the ugly cropping and cheap dissolving effect?
