2D animation won't save this film. It appears that this film is taking the same direction as The Smurfs, where we see our heroes in the real world.

aghghhhgh whyyyyyy WHY DID THEY DO THIS.

I wouldn't have minded this plot if they used regular 2D animation for the live-action parts like in the first film, but now they seem to be taking a lazy step in the plot and animation to make it exactly like The Smurfs.
