We also should keep in mind that everyone loved beanmouth and lore shows when they were fresh and new, in the late 2000’s everyone was tired of the UPA-inspired thickline artstyle they’ve seen in every other show back then and for a good reason too, it was mostly used as a cost cutting measure and cheap Canadian shit like Johnny Test and Total Drama looked like shit compared to the thickline shows of the 90’s like Dexters Lab and The PowerPuff Girls. Beanmouth artists were seen as having more unique artstyles from the norm, even John K, despite how much calarts discourse is associated with him and his followers, was supportive of Rebecca Sugars artwork years before Steven Universe was a thing and called the thickline artstyle "calarts":

Ironically, now beanmouth had become the cost cutting measure that everyone is tired of, and in hindsight, the UPA-inspired cartoons of the 2000’s (particularly the non-Canadian ones) looked far more appealing, sadly, we didn’t know what he had until it was gone.
