but that's not a good thing, sort of. what people were complaining about there was that calarts had infiltrated movies which was a place we could at least get away from that shit because <all of cartoons>. no longer apparently. i think it's alright here though, in a way, since the villain of the movie is literally a calarts character, but that's probably not the intent

ok so this is complicated because it's sort of an amalgamation of a lot of hate being rolled into rallying against a single art style, which makes sense, it is the visual representation of a lot of similar things, but here's just the art style / someone defending the art style:

Image

which this doesnt really work anyway because the guy who made the one in the bottom right is british and unlikely to have gone to calarts, although that title character might look like that for a reason, and the bottom left is from someone who actually came from new york's art school which is totally different than an art school in california. the top two, though.

but nevertheless this is similar and whether or not we've had similar art throughout the history of cartoons is kind of irrelevant as to whether or not somebody would enjoy <current art trend>.

from there you can get into how people are just sick of <current year shit> and how that's being rolled into faux adult cartoons like the bottom left, similar art styles / similar people running the shows / similar themes (but kind of not really).

but probably what got this ball rolling just in the first place was probably people figuring out that uh:

this is all irrelevant though because turning red was clearly, clearly inspired by early ghibli films, like my neighbour, oversized heads, bean mouths, fair representation of kids, good for expressiveness, but, man, if some animated movie wanted to homage a great from fifty years ago, but all of that guy's stuff looked like family guy, well

i don't think thematically, sort of. maybe? a lot of ghibli stuff is coming of age, though, just with a lot of japanese weirdness thrown in there. and this is supposed to be a coming of age movie with some weirdness thrown in there.

but the movie is supposed to be about a group of like young ... teenagers? early teenagers? who are like weebs, right? turbo nerds. and the director / creator based the characters on themself and their group of friends and it does take place in the early 2000s, which i know because someone reviewd the movie and thought it was weird that they werent impacted by 911, which is when they would have been that age, and so would have then enjoyed those very specific early ghibli works.

so it's at least you know this all makes sense

I've never heard of this movie until today! It looks like it's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea except the Nemo character has a city instead of a submarine

It looks hilarious
