And I agree with Farerb. I mean, of course the only way they can build the Dark Palace in the forest landscape or having people throwing fireballs is through CGI, but they tend to overuse it. I'll give them a pass on stone castle rooms, but couldn't they really have a set furnished like an Edwardian era room for the Darlings house? It seems a bit lazy imo. Well, as far as the CGI sets go, a lot of that goes down to time and budget. You can build a set and/or find an actual location for any location (even fantasy ones). The problem is building sets is both costly and time consuming. Similarly finding a location can also be costly and time consuming (and adds the additional problem of having to have the cast and crew be "on location"). If Adam and Eddy had an unlimited budget and like a year to do each episode, I'm sure they would prefer actual places, over the CGI (and I'm pretty sure almost every writer feels that way), but you have to work within you budget and time constraints, and for that, I think they do an excellent job.
