Whoah! It's that low?  Hmm, I would venture to say that one major reason
they can get away with a lower frame count is the simulated motion blurring,
and similar effects.  Like, if a character swings his head around quickly,
it should have a couple frames where his face is reeealy wide-- stretched
out.  Same for fast moving legs.

Eric Scwartz used that a lot too, if you remember.
