The way I see it: I'd rather have animated characters than everyone looking like a fossil. Really put a damper on Star Wars Ep. 7 for me (among other things), but Harrison Ford didn't look or feel like Han Solo. I'm glad they're not doing the played-out "aging crew" trope with Firefly. If it's animated, the characters can still run as far and jump as high as they could 20 years ago.
