How Indie Animation is More Unique Than TV Animation

Note: Just because the TV cartoons I listed have the thin beanhead trend doesn’t mean they’re bad, just a little lazy with their art style.
Extra Note: The BGM might glitch a bit since I had to export it in different parts, and a few of them still had the music playing.
No, calling it “Calarts style” doesn’t fit because some creators didn’t graduate from Calarts in the first place. Plus, it gives the institute a bad name. How about we call it “Thin beanhead” instead?

I’d argue that The Owl House doesn’t fit into the Calarts style. It doesn’t fall into the style’s tropes such as completely circular eyes with tiny pupils, noodle shaped arms, bubble-like heads, or even the bean mouth. I could only vaguely see characters like Luz and Willow fitting into the stereotype because of their face shapes, but others in the rest of the cast such as Eda, Hunter, Raine and Belos don’t have traits resembling the Cal-arts style at all. The only other thing I could really connect to to The Owl House being Calarts style would be that their clothing is pretty simplified especially in the 1st season, but that’s not really a Calarts exclusive trait.

Cool video. Tho, I don't see the beanmouth style that bad. I'll agree that it did get overused once Steven Universe came out and has a lack of creativity compared to the zany squash and stretch cartoon style and UPA-esque style. But at the same time, I still think it's unique for its own right, better than the overrated action packed and Scooby Doo-esque art styles from the 70s and 80s.

@Notdog610 6 ай бұрын

Haven't watched the full video yet, but really i think the reason most tv shows have the same artstyle is because it's not really their choice, but corporate's choice, look at the Steven Universe pilot for example, it has a much more distinct artstyle, but because corporate most likely saw that the Adventure Time style was more popular and it would take less money to produce, they picked that one Edit: oh you made the exact same argument lol

Fun Fact: Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe, graduated from School of Visual Arts, not from CalArts. The fact that she had created her titular character with a thin bean head is unintentionally.

I have an Indie animation channel/series called EdalgmAnimations, and my animations that get the most views are the ones that I put the least effort into. For example, my animation adapting the Police I Swear to God meme (which took like 20 minutes to make) has more views then an animation that took me 5-7 days to make.

I think the art styles are actually usually diverse. The main problem is the character design. While a lot of art styles fall in similar lines, it usually is only compared due to the fact that main characters of shows are pretty similar in mainstream cartoons right now. I also think that adventure time is absolutely not the cause of this (though it did add a little fuel to the flame) art styles have been going in this direction for a long time as shown by stuff like whatever happened to robot jones, Billy and Mandy among others whose art styles and character designs are very close to what we have now. This sameness does not really carry into the actual artstyle such as in the case of thundercats roar, which has an extremely unique art style, that only has a “samey” art style is because of the bean head character design. Also it’s not very fair to say that indie shows have more diverse art styles because they are all disconnected from each other and the mainstream so there isn’t really a collective “indie” art style as much as there is a mainstream one, which is more focused on marketing. Besides, just dipping a toe into adult animation makes the bean head argument disappear since a lot of great shows are coming out without replicating this style. Along with that John k’s original article was talking about stuff like the iron giant instead of television animation like it went viral for. Good video and all I suppose, I enjoy this channel but this is not a logical argument to say. I’ve been rambling to long
