Every animated movie looks the same now
You're wrong, and here's just one example to prove it: Into the Spiderverse
Here's another. Puss in boots
Teenage mutant ninja turtles.
I think the new Disney movie, Wish, copied its style though.
How bout a third? Aqua Teen Hunger Force movies!
And the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. The sad fact is that these are the exceptions that prove the rule.
Yup. That movie doesn't even look like itself.
What do you mean? There are so many styles of animation, you mean like Pixar movies all look the same?
Pixar, DreamWorks, and Illumination are the largest studios that make animated movies these days and they all have such generic character designs now. Very soft, very round, large eyes, large mouths, and overall visually boring.
And they often have the same cliche actions and expressions.
Okay, so not every movie, just some recent popular movies from the same year from two of the largest studios with personnel and historical ties, and I guess illumination is also 3d animation if a different character style.
I understand the gripe, but that's a very small section of animation.
I think it's weird to put illumination with the other two because while it's technically a financially successful studio, everything they put out is borderline bootleg quality compared to the other two.
I really think they're re-using the assets for all the characters now, with slight tweaks from movie to movie.
Disney has been doing this for the last 80 years or so.
