Why were the humans designs in the 2020 Animaniacs reboot so UGLY?! Genuinelly some of the most repulsive humans i've seen in a cartoon.

90’s stylization doesn’t work in digital form

It's called caricature and it's meant to be funny

90s Spielberg cartoons did that and it looked a millions times more appealing.

Because modern artists have a terrible read on real Looney Tunes. They think in very simplistic terms, like ugly = funny, and it's a comedy, so therefore if everything is ugly, then that mean it's funnier. Oh those clever artists! They cracked the code! But this of course is nonsense. It's pretty obvious that if you watch the old stuff (even beyond Looney Tunes) that the goal was NOT to create endless ghouls and freaks in every frame, even in scenes where caricatures are called upon. A lot of animated comedy now does not grasp the power of punctation and aesthetics, and just turns the whole thing into a very 1-dimensional effort. It's like suggesting that banging a drum uncontrollably is the "authentic" continuation of 1930's jazz, because it's upbeat. It's completely strange. And this shit mindset bleeds into other discussions too, like how people here think The Sorcerer's Apprentice is not a comedy, because it doesn't have shouting or TNT.

Meh. The only one that looks repulsive to me is the hamster guy, and he's obviously supposed to look like a mutant freak

The entire thing looks hideous. What the fuck did they do to Katie Kaboom?!

Caricature style without proper direction to make it effective.

>>149209741 (OP)
the line weight and lack of shading

Shock humor.

Show how the caricatures looked in an episode that wasn't animated by TMS.
