All of these are bad, but the worst ones are definitely Elmo and Cookie Monster. Why have AI animated versions of those characters, when they’re LITERALLY PUPPETS?! You could just film a message with the puppets and it’d be a lot easier, and more authentic! Even if you couldn’t afford the actual puppeteers from the show, the internet is full of people who can do pretty good impressions of them. Just hire one of them to perform the puppets for cameo, and I’m certain any child would enjoy that a whole lot more than this AI stuff.
