>copying the "pixar" style at the time.

I could never shake off the impression that the Grubhub ad's character designs and were trying to emulate (perhaps not all that deliberately) the artstyles of early-2000s Sony animated productions rather than those of classic Pixar ones.

Specifically, I found both the emphasis on streamlined shape language, along with the rubber-hose-adjacent depiction of limbs and character movements, to be somewhat reminiscent of the aesthetic approaches typified by 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and 'Hotel Transylvania', although cheaply executed, as well as a lot more stereotypically Tumblr-esque and plasticky in appearance.
