I mean, not like it's a bad thing (if used right) . But it stands-out, and it ruins the artistic appeal of these shows. Not that modeling isn't an art, but these shows meant to look like, or once were, hand-drawn/painted, it kinda ruins because those models feel out of place.

I would elaborate further, but I really do not have the time to at this very moment, so maybe later.

I agree completely. One prime example for me is the Timber-wolves from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: during the flashback in the S2 episode Family Appreciation Day, they were portrayed as 2D flash puppets, much like the rest of the show's characters. However, starting from the S3 episode Spike at Your Service and onward, the Timber-wolves were made into 3D models.

Now to be fair, some T.V. Shows can pull of the CGI effect really well (IE Family Guy), however, with MLP, they seem rather off and clash with the rest of the colorful, 2D environment; at this rate, they may as well make the whole show in 3D.

Even in Family Guy I can spot it. Hmm...MLP, I'll have to look more closely now. MLP has other oddities, though. I recall the Library door being one of those due to inconsistency with how it even works, and some perspective issues. Maybe I'll re-watch some episodes when/if I get season four finished... /:

Grievous: Do you happen to know which YouTuber did that SpongeBob video? Sounds interesting.

Nope.
I MIGHT be able to find it again, but I doubt it. Best chances are looking through my desktop's browsing history, but I don't wanna mess with the Firefox profiles on another computer just to do that.
As much as I do recall, they said it kinda went south after the first big movie. That probably would be a reasonable assumption, though.
I actually would've linked the video if I had remembered what/where it was.
