As silly as it sounds, it kind of fascinates me to spot where are the animators allocating the budget and how do they save money. It's a field that I've always wanted to get into, but one that I'm also aware is very costly in time and money (as if it wasn't alongside every Hollywoo industry due to rich assholes).

Seeing the tricks related to backgrounds, movement, avoiding showing lips, and so on. It's kind of interesting to see how it can all be done. Hell, sometimes constraints help you make art. In the scene between Eve and Mark after the latter breaks off from Cecil's organization due to realizing he was using villains, and putting the earpiece on him, I found it a beautiful scene, since the lack of lips allowed us to focus on the characters voices, emotions, and movements of their body from a distance.

The rule of animators and art that's been branded into my mind, quoting from Richard Williams' The Animator's Survival Kit is: "Remember the rule of gold: He who has the gold makes the rules. If you want to make your own rules, use your own gold."

A lot of art is incredibly dependent on money, so one has to be responsible not to squander it. As much as I respect and adore Richard Williams, his work The Thief and the Cobbler is also a story on how he squandered the gold he was given in wanting to make a masterpiece, making his quote poignant as all hell. This sort of stuff is especially important for small projects, as well.
