Something I think I've come to realize as time goes on is that while many "executive" decisions might be made for completely cynical reasons, the people who actually have to work on the projects aren't always simply trying to cut so many corners that they wind up with a perfect circle. Sure, Hollywood might simply be attempting to cash in on a brief craze or something silly that's "in" with a particular crowd, but that doesn't mean that everybody who works on the project is just phoning it in waiting for a paycheck to show up.

So when you have a cartoon designed to push toys, it might be surprising that there are people who actually want to put out a good product. The voice actors, animators, designers, editors, they're all looking at each thing they do as more than just "a way to make a paycheck."
For one thing, they know it'll be the most recent thing on their resume if someone looks them up on imdb. But also, if you know people might watch it, why

Let's not dilly-dally and get down to the action!
