But hear this, you will just be like AniMat where the only way to be a good animation fan is to stop the passion hate on whatever you may have for good, and start being a true good animation and especially a Disney fan from there. End of thread.

And sooner or later, even Disney themselves will change their final look of their next films once more, and yet the internet would continue to post AI generated videos and comments unless they open their eyes for once, regardless of the new look of their future films.

And my major takeaway from all of this is that regardless of which style or final renderings of the film may be from any animation studio out there.

Overall, Disney Animation continuing to use to same animation style that they’ve been using for since the jump to CG with Hexed is no different than how they were in the 70s/80s or the 90s/00s where they still used the same final visual style at the time during a different animation period.

Then the terrible and outdated Disney hate (unless the entire company itself made a legit bad decision) that we are now would be no different. Using the same non-Disney film that they praised hard to slam against a Disney film just get likes and subs. What the hell else do you expect?

And don’t get even started on the “cal arts” or “bean mouth” style. It’s already solidified as a bad term, especially that they used it on some of the Pixar films like Luca, Turning Red, and Elio.

And to be very honest, If you’re complaining about Disney continuing to be using the same style since the 2010s and not something like KPop or Forgotten Island, then why not for Aardman or Illumination or Studio Ghibli?

But after they first done so at the end of the 2010s with Ralph Breaks the Internet and Frozen II, they went back into sequel period with Moana 2 and Zootopia 2, especially with the former that was originally a Disney+ show before turning into a film in less than a year due to these circumstances.

They made it their main style for the film not because of films like Spider-Verse or Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, but because it would honor Disney’s 100th anniversary by blending classic and modern animation in one film.

While the character designs are nearly identical to what they usually look in the 2010s, the final rendering is different, where instead of realism, it was painted in watercolor look. Not just with the backgrounds, but also with the characters.

The only difference however is that they switched the ink and paint software after they dismantled the CAPS system when they first shut down 2D animation called Toon Boom Harmony, which I still believe that they are still using it to this day, even though they make small 2D stuff nowadays.

And while it took a while to find the right style for their CG look to feel like a true Disney film, it was Tangled that was the right style for Disney that then would be used throughout the 2010s, thus making the studio once again a household name in animation.
