Like many, including the OP in this train, said, that it's a comparison between animated and still. Personally, I think it's better when animated, even if it's graphically inferior. I would like to add though that "wasn't exactly a still one" is a bit deceptive as well. It was a progression of multiple still images (like any animation is as well), but in this case it definitely felt like still images, like reading a comic versus watching a cartoon. So yeah, it was exactly a still one in my opinion
