So it turns out Elio originally WASN'T going to be in the beanmouth style. - /co/ (#149241990) [Archived: 680 hours ago]

Many such cases, more proof that this shit artstyle is nothing but corporate meddling, the fact that retards online still defend it is beyond me.

Wylde Pak looked more unique in concept art? Beanmouthed in final product.

Primos looked more unique in concept art? Beanmouthed in final product.

I’m just glad that this film caused more people to wake up to the fact that this garbage artstyle is cheap and overused. There’s literally no reason for Pixar to use this style since the whole point of it is to look cheap, they make films with like 200 million dollar budgets, go wild with the artstyle ffs.

Americans are overall not used to there being a specific style to all cartoons. Everything used t be unique unless it;s a single studio that has their own house style that they consistently use. It's weird to have this one style used by everyone across the board in every studio.

The art style is like either Student Bodies, Home Movies, the illustrations of some children's books that I have seen and read, Sheep in the Big City, Safety Queen and that Russian cartoon from the Simpsons.

This. Jesse Aclin's concept art is one of the few bright spots from that Elio art book and is more in line with Pixar's regular art style.

Elio's final design reminds me way too much of Steven from Steven Universe. This design, however, kinda reminds me of Linguini from Ratatouille but at least it's better than Elio being a Steven clone.

Aclin's designs may not have had much effect on Elio's box office, but at least that movie's human character designs would be better than that beanmouth art style.

This wasn't the case for Tangled or even the Incredibles despite it coming out 2004. There's no excuse for Elio to look the way it other than this being a deliberate decision, op's a fag that didn't bother posting the rest of the concept art. They did a sculpt for two different versions of Elio, that's including the one in the op and one that resembles the final product a bit more.

Oh boy if only he knew back then how downhill Calarts would go. Look at the thesis films from Calarts students these days, they look fine and definitely had effort put into them, but are of Newgrounds-level quality. The entire purpose of Calarts used to be for one to graduate with enough skill to work on a Disney 2D feature film, but wait a minute, Disney doesn't do 2D animated features anymore, woopsadoodle, so what’s the point of Calarts alumni having talent.

Once Upon a Studio proved that Disney could still make great 2D animation, but that’s like the only time in years they’ve utilized their 2D animation department.

Ever wonder why modern Simpsons looks so smoothly animated (albeit still stiff and on-model) at times? Because Disney animators are stuck working on that show for all eternity cause they got nowhere else to utilize their talent.

Disney esque 2D animators are to modern Simpsons what wacky cartoonists are to modern SpongeBob. Talented people who have no choice but to utilize their talent on the decaying corpse of a longrunning show just because the shows higher budget from their success allows for those respective styles, while any new modern cartoons aren’t given the budget for said animation styles.

Funniest thing is that that style isn’t too different from the beanmouth style, the "adult animation" style is just beanmouth but more stiff and detailed, yet for some reason animation fans loathe the adult animated sitcom style while praising beanmouth.

Look at StuGo, that show is stiff AF rigged garbage, it’s literally animated as if it was a FOX cartoon, yet for some reason, people still praise that show, you don’t see anyone giving a shit about Universal Basic Guys or whatever because it’s "generic", true hypocrisy.

Double standards at its finest.

At least these designs have construction, what does beanmouth have? Just drawing a couple of bean shaped lines, boom, you got a character design that appeals to the masses, or at least that’s what corporate heads think.

God damn, that's bleak. Already knew there wasn't much use for 2d at WDAS outside of like a few things but I didn't know about the Simpsons thing cuz I haven't thought about it in years.
