If I'm not wrong, they even said something like that they have a team of 50~ish something people pulling out the work you normally would expect from a team of 100.

Miles was particularly adamant on how much he dislikes it when people say bad things about the animation team because of how hard they work.

Yeah, I think they deserve a rest.

They also may not have even still figured out to cover the work Shane used to do.

2015 was a hard year already and they still pulled it out. I will have absolutely no problems if they decide to take it easier on 2016.

Besides, with a full version of Grimm Eclipse probably coming out during hiatus, it will probably feel shorter anyways.
