Animated or Video?

Steven Johnson expresses the ideas from his book Where Good Ideas Come From in an animated video and a traditional video. I think that traditional video is more effective because it sets a more educated mood. You have to pay attention to it though, because it may seem like just a lecture. The animated version is also helpful because it guides your thoughts and presents it as a visual map. But, personally, I feel that information is taken more seriously through a traditional video.
