I personally want the characters to be animated like a Disney cartoon but that way of doing things is dead these days outside of indie-games which are still happy to retain that pixelated look. HD/4K era has killed it.
Even cutscenes, which used to be an actual cartoon (where each picture was hand drawn, connected together, and then ran at whatever fps it was to make all of 5 seconds of video...), is another non-starter because it's cost prohibitive. Now characters both in-game and with non-playable cutscenes tend to slide or glide across the 2D backgrounds.
South Park suits the current method perfectly. You literally get the cartoon.
