Pretty sure you can't upload puppet animation, no matter how good it may be.

I'm not sure where the rules say that, but it makes sense.

How is this puppet animation?

The staff make a model in flash and just move it around to make the animation. Like a puppet. They don't redraw every new frame like in traditional animation, which is this site's focus.

There's no rule outright banning them and I'm fine with a case by case scenario where they're acceptable as long as the result isn't awkwardly robotic. I'm aware that it's not the same case whatsoever but there's also fans (and artists for the matter) who would point at rotoscoped sequences and claim they're not truly animation. Banning fully 3DCG work is as far as we've taken blanket decisions, and this sort of passes.

I agree, word for word. Puppet animation still takes a GREAT deal of time to complete, especially really complex scenes and effects, that actually NEED to be hand-drawn. The first season too before the rest of the series was shipped overseas to the Philipines and South Korea to actually be hand-drawn. Besides, HAVE YOU SEEN SOME MERCURY FILMWORKS WORK???!!??!??
