Yep. Doing more doesn't mean better. Take Lego as an example. The TV stuff and straight to video stuff makes them all bendy and does much more with them than actual Lego can do. When they went to make a huge budget feature, they locked that right down and made them move like Lego minifigures and it's way better.
Often the appeal is tied to the limitations.
This is one of the lessons I used to give animation students back when I gave talks - someone can stick buttons on a sock and bring that to life, most Muppets couldn't even move their eyes, so whatever limits you come across in animation are never an excuse if you can't make people believe that character is alive.
