Eh, animating something as large and detailed as dragons is probably pretty difficult, so to have so many consecutive high quality frames move at a fast pace probably sucks up a lot of budget, so they get around that by including as many stills as they can, but like, this episode required actual movement, even though it was just a small amount, and they still fucked it up.
