I kinda liked Marshmallow in 4x1 as well. But I agree that OUaT use of CGI needs to be limited. It's hard to do the quality of CGI needed to animate lions (or tigers or bears, oh my) in any way that would be passable using the budget that is usally allotted for a TV show. And even personifying them still leaves the issue of CGI for any flashbacks.

I Love Once for the story telling. but the use of CGI needs to be kept to a minimum. Besides, they blew a lot of their CGI budget already with the Frozen effects, and they are going to have a large enough amount of CGI if they have to deal with Maleficent's dragon form too much. Let's leave the talking animals and animated objects as parts of our imaginations.
