I expected to hate that, but I didn't.
Nice to see they kept the use of photographic elements and also it's not in half arsed 3D CGI.

Did they just make a filthy Baron Greenback joke?

Yeah, but any smooth variable-line-width flat-shaded animations look like Flash, even though Macromedia's users didn't invent the style.
Although some of my brain does agree with you... Gah! Dunno. I think the stylistic 'shock' will wear off quick. And maybe Flash-style will soon be considered a retro look? I never liked it much personally. I don't think this looks like the worst offender though. It's the fake line-width variations that always get to me, and this looks like it doesn't do that too much. If you're going to have a VLW, make it pressure-controlled by a human and not post-calculated by Mr. Beizer.
Those Pilkington animations looked horrible to me at first, but I got used to it fairly quick and forgot about concentrating on the style. I really don't know, but I don't think I'm going to mind this. I do appreciate your point.
edit: I don't think cartoons having unrealistic extending arms is really an issue. It's an unrealistic mouse. I saw Tom the cat shatter like glass once. Danger Mouse's arm can extend to 10 feet long for all I care. On a very temporary basis, you understand.
