Are you talking camera movement or charater? I would have to disagree if you
are talking camera movement, most computer animation I see do fall in the trap
of zooming around the screen.
I would agree though that traditional character animations, "characters", in
most instances seem to have a lot more fluid movement and life, but the
"camera" shooting the characters seem to stick to the tried and true slow
pans, dollys etc.. and zoom's are rare and only happen on dramatic close
up's  ... say ... just before the coyote turns to the camera with 50 ton of
TNT about to blow up in his hands.
And EVERY frame DOES count in computer animation. Who wants to spend hours
rendering more frames than they need?
