Absolutely yes, the game is in the modern era and the animations need the update. Keep in mind veterans me included forget about the ender dragons smooth animations, so this was a long time coming, entities come alive compared to their stiff surroundings, it always did look off to me how stiff they were and are right now, no life. There really is no logic in keeping content old in modern updates, it makes no sense, old is old and new is new. I can't play without fresh animations in the modern updates because of the lack of theme, basically they all match the warden now and they each have their own personality just like the warden does. The warden is huge, creepy, intimidating, with newer animations skeletons balance on themselves, zombies sloth around, pigs snouts snort (say that five times fast) etc. it just brings so much life into the game, where as older versions lacked it.
