I know this show is not for me, and I am not complaining as if it was meant to be. This is more being put off by the state of animation now. When characters look better done in the 60 and the 90s then we have now it just bothers me as someone who is into art.

I agree. Animation is now optimized for digital manipulation.

It's corner cutting plain and simple.

Lazy animators taking shortcuts. Traditional cartoons are too "costly" and "time consuming" to make so you have this standard of animation now.

Nonsense, the lot of you. Cartoons have been fitted to budgets since at least the 60s, if you don't remember Yogi Bear, Top Cat, Wally Gator, Quick Draw McGraw, and the other dozen walk cycle anthro cartoons.

Compare that still image to this one of Gadget and Chip hugging. How can one done 30 years ago be so much better.

Budget and time.

If disney wants 10 episodes in 6 months and make 20 people do the work of 80, the quality will go down.

Films have a much longer time to polish and take care of animation so they end up looking better.

That's just one cartoon, produced by Disney, who are rather infamous for not treating their cartoons well.

You got your Invincible, your Primal, Archer is still running iirc, that Harley Quinn show, Tuca and Bertie, Rick and Morty is precisely as ugly as its intended to be (certainly not because of its budget), and of course Netflix has (and had) a ton of great looking stuff. Hell, even Disney has The Owl House, which looks fine.

There is lots of garbage, though.

Animation is a painstaking process.

The problem isn't taking advantage of digital animation.

The problem is relying on it like a crutch and ignoring the fundamentals.

Style is a fundamental.

In older cartoons, while the art itself was often higher quality, the animation was not. Outside of big budget Disney movies, animation was often stuff or hanky in various ways.

Observe this classic meme scene and how it looks like it might as well just be stop motion despite the characters themselves looking great considering the tech available at the time.

If you want to see a really good looking cartoon, Rise of the TMNT is it. Looks fantastic, it's slick, snappy and stylish.

That is pretty much always imposed on them by a higher up, that wants everything done as fast and cheap as possible.

Going the extra mile to make something look really good is discouraged. Sometimes even punished.

That looks way better than the old cartoons they're based on though. I almost cracked a smile.
