Bloody amazing.
I remember being bowled away by the interpolate function in !Paint running on RISC OS 3 when I was a kid, so by comparison this seems like actual magic. It's only a shame that my linux savvy can only just about cope with ./configure; make install.
By the by, does b3tacode™️ offer anything resembling the ＜code＞ tag?

They can't even handle youtub.be, so I doubt it

At last!
Someone has finally freed us from the tyranny of charm.

Yes, very clever but I do prefer the original
Imagine someone trying to pitch Roobarb & Custard nowadays

I’m kind of intrigued
I’d like to see what kind of terrible unholy mess this would make of Roobarb & Custard

I remember it taking quite a while to get used to, all that wobbling
but then it became integral to the show's appeal and slightly frenetic atmosphere.

animated lego is pretty charmless anyway
I'd like to see it on some Harryhausen

Well, it's been done to death, yeah.
But the principle stands.
I can sort-of-see a rationale for the Harryhausen idea, insofar as that he was using stop-motion as a means to try to give us something realistic. But nobody would use stop-motion for that nowadays.

A shocking disregard for nostalgia
It's the same kind of Train Pulling into a Station 60 fps vandalism that made the Lumière brothers turn in their grave, at 78 rpm

But the Lumières were trying to capture reality.
That's a fundamentally different enterprise from what's going on in stop motion.

looks good but not perfect
You can see a blur on a frame or two in the slowed down section. also the pillar occlusion in the first side by side has a weird AI tearing/squiggley look to the outline

Welcome to the party.
Would you like to take a massive shit on the cake while you're here?

I would have given this movie 5 stars but one frame out of the 432,000 totally ruined it for me

I agree, don't listen to these pricks
His hand disappeared in some frames as he raises it - I noticed there was a problem when he played it normal speed and I noticed distracting problems elsewhere, I just couldn't be bothered to go back and identify them.
Since he's talking about how perfect it is during that sequence, it's surprising he couldn't find any perfect footage to demonstrate it.
Still, it is pretty amazing especially since they just give it away. Just not as perfect as this guy is saying.
