We recently rewatched Snow White, and the animation was striking. Every movement had a purpose and seemed to be exaggerated for emphasis. It was the exaggeration that made it feel more real.

Even if you don't think you've mastered the anatomically correct, nearly photographic figure drawing, you obviously understand what's missing. Knowing how to draw a traditional figure can inform your more stylized drawings, and that's what can make them truly appealing. I'm with Jason - I like the stylized version. Admittedly though I'm the guy who will bore after a half-wing of Renaissance art, then spend hours staring at abstracts. Ultimately it's about what you want to say.

Maybe that is because of the hard outer lines though, as compared to the sketched borders of the original. I think what you are talking about here needs to be discussed a lot in the CGI world by movie animators as it still seems hard to show the "weight" of a CGI character on the big screen.
