Why are cartoonists these days lowering to such standards now....

Makes no sense; how did we go from 80s animation anatomy to this shit (including earlier works from Disney in earlier decades which are just as good!)

laziness abound.

80s television cartoons easily have the worst animation of the past...well, period of time since the 80s, and that certainly includes today. I honestly don't know why anyone would even try to pull this.

And of course Disney animation from earlier decades was better. They were theatrical shorts and features with considerably higher budgets than the toy commercials of the 80s. Naturally, there are jokes about the short cuts those animators took, too, and it also occurred in Looney Tunes, and probably in the work of the Fleischer brothers, Terrytoons, and so on (maybe less so UPA though).

Why do people say calarts doesnt exist when we get this crap?

Well, for one, there's no evidence that the designer of this thing went to the California Institute of the Arts, as far as I can tell. We don't even know who it is. And a lot of the creators often accused of being "CalArts" certainly did not go to that particular school.

What people call the "CalArts style" is just "cartoons which look roughly similar to one another due to being made at the same time, within the same marketplace and aimed at the same audience".
