How do you determine the “best” pelican? I couldn’t see much of a difference between extra high and max.

  Ignoring aesthetics, there’s simply significantly more detail produced by max

    And it's correct detail. Earlier models had things like detached hats, or lighthouses floating above or below the level they should be at, etc. Everything is where it should be, the fish is clearly in the basket and not clipping through it, the animation has cartoon-correct parallax which is fairly impressive. By "cartoon-correct" I mean that if that was a real photo with real physics, that would be way too much motion for the boat and clouds, but for a cartoon, that is completely acceptable.

      The animation isn't down to max though - I took the SVG created by max and piped it back into high and asked that to animate it.

        Thank you for the clarification. I'm just impressed by the whole thing in general.

  To me, the biggest difference is the beak: I like the max one much more than the xhigh one. Max also made a nicer background.

  It didn't get real wings until the Extra High version.

    Wings aren’t that good for holding handlebars
