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).

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".

Clearly designed to avoid having to animate the beak when it talks. Probably saves them a boatload when creating different versions for different languages.

It just casually has a human mouth on the side of its face, it looks like they had a third grade class draw their interpretation and picked the 4th best one.

It's the most CalArts thing to ever CalArts. Bonus points for being so lazy that you re-use old box art WITH THE OLD DESIGN, lol.

Because an unhealthy food product is leaving you behind in its advertising, preferring to advertise for its target audience and not for grown-ass adults.

Over a cereal mascot.

But don't be fooled. Nobody's really upset about this. They probably don't even eat breakfast cereal. They're just reaching for low-hanging "cringe" fruit because they have been programmed to do so.

Idk I think our artistic standards have declined a lot just in the past ten years & that a giant corporation pushing out a redesign this lazily-animated is an ominous sign of things to come, but that's just me!

I don't hate it... entirely. The beak and mouth piss me off though, reminds me of peppa pig and amazing world of gumball way too much. The rest of it and the sorta friendly style is ok... it's just that damn beak and mouth.

Oh gawd, I didn't even realize he had teeth. I knew something was off, but that adds a new layer.

Ditch the teeth and tweak the mouth I'd be ok with it.... but it literally looks like a character from gumball or some sort of homage.

Don't know why people are going "ur mad cuz nostalgia" when people are ultimately just saying it's an ugly design.

That kind of art style is just lazy and ugly. That pic showing some CN intern plastering some ugly face over that Cowboy Bebop artwork says it all.

Because nearly all animation in the west that isn't digitally animated is done in Korea by a handful of studios.
