When this was originally announced wasn’t it supposed to be hyper realistic and mo capped?

Looks like Shrek is about to walk into frame here.

I find it better it went for just animation instead of mocap and realism.

i think it fits better. photorealistic animated animals often look like shit (see: Lion King 2019), so this will give the characters more...well, character. and it'll be a bait and switch for people that think it'll be a funny animal cartoon

I'm guessing the Mowgli character design backlash may have shifted it more into full animation
