Default Detail or not to Detail   #1  
So, I've been wondering this for a while.

I have noticed a lot cartoons anymore tend to have a simplified drawing style compared to some of the older animations. I know some still have a lot of details, kids I know tend to watch more of less detailed stuff.

Been taking art classes for a while now and my painting, drawing instructor keeps promoting less detail.
They keep bringing up WW2, when people who didn't have realistic art were killed and many had to flee otherwise they would of been.
So they keep promoting less detail and abstract to be better.

My ceramics and other 3d art teacher promotes, as much detail as possible to be better.
A piece needs to be able to stand on it's own.

I'm inclined to agree with the ceramics teacher.

I know less detail helps with getting animations done faster.
I had an animation class at one point. I just wonder if it's really worth it to get it done faster vs the quality.
Stories are out sooner and so fans don't have to wait as long to get the next story,etc.

I was curious what types of art people "here" tend to like better?

I know it does depend on the person.
