Smooth Animation v. Good Animation

Posted by Bubbowrap Dec. 18, 2009 @ 4:41 AM EST

So, this guy messages me on AIM and sends me a link to an swf to ask my opinion. I proceed to tell him that it's very smooth, but the animation is bad -- the walk cycle is completely unbelievable, and it looked more like the guy was doing a weird, floating kick thing. To my surprise, he was happy with that. He was ONLY worried about it being smooth and not about it being correct/believable.

How many people think this way? Is smooth animation valued more than good animation?

Personally, I'd rather see correct and believable animation at 6fps than incorrect and shoddy animation at 30fps, but I'm wondering if I'm the exception.
