 The quality of Quest 's traditional and computer animation split critics . The Toronto Star scathingly criticized the show for " facile plots heavily laced with jarring science fiction and incongruous computer animation " , naming QuestWorld a " poorly explained techno @-@ gimmick . " Le Figaro concurred , but praised QuestWorld for capturing the attention of young viewers . The Star praised QuestWorld , but regarded traditional sequences as " flat and textureless , with minimal characterization , unnaturally stiff movement , and poor execution of shading and shadow " . Ted Cox of the Chicago Daily Herald agreed that animated motion was sometimes " remarkably uneven " , but lauded realistic imagery like " the play of light on the ocean " . TV Guide also found the animation somewhat flat , but considered the sound effects and backgrounds to be state @-@ of @-@ the @-@ art .
