It's a seismic shift for the animation industry. We don't know what to call it yet because it's new. It's a mix of classic American style animation, anime, and Korean pop art with some unknown quantity mixed in. The success of Kpop Demon Hunters marks the sift away from the balloon animal style of the last few Pixar movies and the embrace of something edgier and sexier. And the funny thing is, it has super broad appeal. Little girls are going absolutely nuts for Kpop Demon Hunters which proves that audiences don't want "safe" character designs and animation, they want stuff that is bold and exciting while feeling a bit like an idealized version of reality is in there somewhere. They took the idea of a Disney princess and puta an edgier less safe Eastern spin on it, and now they're reaping the rewards. You are going to see the industry scrambling to keep up with this new shift because this is what the audience wants.
