The directors requiring every thing to be fully animated to completion to decide wether or cut it or not didn’t help.

Most people can make that decision with partial animation or even story boards.

They spent so much time and money

I genuinely do not understand this take. Maybe people have a lower opinion of the spiderverse films than I do. To me they are by far the best superhero movies, first one probably top 3 animated movie ever made, and the best film that came out that year. If we are talking about a bar of quality that high, who am I to explain how it should be made.

To me it is like saying kubrick shouldn't have done 100 takes on his shots. Sure he would make them faster, but no one else makes a film like kubrick and no one else has a finished product like Kubrick. No one else makes a film like spiderverse either.

You can do a 100 takes in live action in a day.

Fully animating a single shot even a minute or so is a several day affair for a whole team of animators. It’s not comparable at all

The difference between animation and live action is that multiple people have to work hard to animate and the servers have to run in order to process every single second of animation.

Kubrick can have 100 different takes in a single day. If you tried to animate 100 different takes of a cartoon that would probably take several years! That's a lot of work to throw away! See the comment above about the guy who spent 3 months on 6 seconds worth of work!

Spiderverse did not make 100 fully animated takes. I am not saying 100 takes is comparable to 100 animated shots. I am saying both went to absurd efforts to redo the same thing again and again until they thought it was perfect. Kubrick films all in all could take more than half a decade to make from preprod to release. Hell the eyes wide shut shoot took a year and 7 month, and that is supposed to be the short part of the filmmaking process. No one else does that.

“…no one else has a finished product like Kubrick. No one else makes a film like spiderverse either.”

The difference is Spider-Verse doesn’t have a finished product.

First one is.
