So, assuming that new shot of Cat Noir is final and not concept art, they're using a 2D art style? I admit, I was thinking it was going to be CGI from the models we got of Ladybug, Cat Noir, and even Pixie Girl, but I'm honestly in huge support of this. It's possible, like with RWBY Chibi, but it's hard to replicate chibi designs and expressions in CGI, often due to the CGI limiting the range required. Even replicating cartoon movements akin to Looney Tunes with CGI is still only recently getting better, like with Hotel Translyvania. I think the decision to use 2D style will help make these shorts look better than

However, I hope the animation lives up to the art style. Chibi expressions are easy enough to do, but actual movements and timing is vital to make them entertaining and not awkward. One of Tales of Paris' main issues is that the flash animation does not look very good, and it doesn't support Angie Nasca's stellar character designs. It's clear that the webisodes were rushed to get done, and because of it, the animation suffers. I get ZAG's need to get new content out to help fill in gaps, but quality over quantity is going to be their saving grace in the long run. I hope the chibi shorts' animation can successfully support the energetic, enthusiastic, and crazy moments shown in the animatics.
