With my prefered medium the amount of time spent drawing is a main factor in making a drawn animation the best quality possible. The way a character(s) moves is the most important factor of making a great animation, even with simplistically designed characters. Depending on the detail 2-3 seconds could take hours, several days, weeks or months.

Above are simply designed stickmen yet they move and fight with great detail. This shows that detail isn't so important in animation but given more time an animation with just as much fluid movement (or more) can be made with great detail. Within the 12 principles of animation factor like timing is mentioned but none of them include the importance of a detailed character.

| The Boy and The Beast, Kumatetsu vs Lozen |
This fight scene from 'The Boy and The Beast' shows great detail in the movements and design of the characters. However, obviously this would take a huge amount of time to draw and animate. Every detail such as the hair, fur and clothing are repeatedly drawn over and over again in each frame (considering most big studios animate 60 frames per second).

However, considering other mediums like CGI and stop motion which take longer drawn animation does not involve as greater effort.
