At this point there is a dedicated effort to keep it alive by any means necessary and want to attack anyone who mentions it or brings up the subject. Looks like half of the working animators think it's some kind of evil angry chud meme that they need to double and triple down on to trigger the evil bigot chuds while also downplaying that it exists at all and act like it was only something that appeared once or twice a decade ago.

It's really weird how the style has been added to 3D stuff. Since the whole point was for a very simple, cheap, quick to work with minimalist design for 2D animation. It's function over form for the most part. So why do it in 3D? That does none of the things it was meant to do, it does not make it faster, cheaper, or simpler at all. On top of that, why is one of the largest, biggest budget studios in the world using it?

People expect more from Pixar than imitating the cheap efficient method of animating for tv.
