Like in the re-texturing project what do we mean when we don't want it to be too realistic? And how do we keep it cartoony but still have it look good?

Its possible. Just look at some newer movies. The animated ones look high def, but are real cartoony lookin'

Yeah now I sort of know what you are talking about.

What I mean is that the original graphics in the game generally had the same look as a hand drawn cartoon, and that established the look we want to preserve. There is some degree of shading and what not, but generally it is a hand drawn look.
