The term cal arts style actually originated in the 90s with the Disney renaissance. Disney helped get the school going in the 60s, and many animators over the 20th century attended there. The Disney renaissance of the 90s honed in the style they animated with and that was the cal arts style. So when people get mad over new shows looking the same and calling it the cal arts style, it’s ironic because the name was given to the look of 90s Disney and every network trying to emulate that art style. Also, the gif comparing Steven, gravity falls, star, and gumball takes all those shows out of their art style to “compare how similar they are”

[@miserirken]

Gets even better when you know who started using CalArt style as an insult in the first place: John K. referring to the Iron Giant.

The captain planet overpopulation episode concluded that no family should have more than two children. The wierd and mildly damning part is that Ted turner, creator of turner broadcasting and co-creator of Captain Planet had 5 children at the time.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

*Fun Fact about the Cal-Arts part:* Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe, didn't graduated from Cal-Arts, but she was graduated from New York School of Visual Arts. So Steven Universe didn't originated the concept of the Cal-Art style. Most people complained that modern animation always used the same style all over again because it lacks the diversity and variety of stylization. If that's the reason why they have issue with the Cal-Arts style, then they should've said so.

[@TheSoCalledZoner1]

they miss the thick bold style

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

@@TheSoCalledZoner1 I think Amazing World of Gumball has the "thick-line animation" style. Aren't people forget that Gumball has a lot of variety of art styles to fit each character's appearance and personalities as well as the environment?

[@burneraccount1218]

You're making a complete pedantic, facile argument. People say "cal-arts style" because of the sheer, overwhelming number of shows that come from people who went to that one school. SVA is almost as prevalent to the point where people could use "SVA style" interchangeably with calarts style. No who on earth has ever said Stephen Universe started this trend either: Adventure Time is widely considered to be patient zero. So congratulations on um actually-ing everyone with your subject evading little factoids.

[@siresorb1419]

It doesn't really matter where anybody graduated from if that art style is the industry standard.

[@Meli_monster]

In my opinion I think that just what the trend is right now for animation. Sure some cartoons don't follow some of the trendy styles now used. It's kinda like how the early 2000s the big style was the bold outlines. And how rubber hose style was popular way before that. I think animation styles just reflects what's popular. I'm sure the style will change soon as well.

I kinda theorize that the Mandela effect is just a result of mistakes made by creators that are just straight up lied about and denied so they can pretend they don't make mistakes

[@KaliFlesh]

I don't agree with the Ed, Eddy n Eddy theory, cuz of a few things: 1) The reason why their tougues are a different colour is because of the jawbreakers they suck on, as the pigment from candy can do that. This makes even more sense considering the Kanker sisters have pink tougues, since they are the only characters who don't suck on jawbreakers. 2) The endless summer one could just be a cartoon thing, as it seems that the Eds at times acknowledge that they're in a show. Like how Phineas and Ferb has 104 days of summer, which i think is longer than a usual summer. 3) I think the adults i the show are only barely shown because it's supposed to be focused on the kids and their antics.

[@ReklessTW]

1. I agree completely 2. 104 days of summer vacation is the average amount of days an American student has for their vacation 3. Also agree

[@miserirken]

You forgot some details abour Weber; He has a comic, Bikini Cowboy, a quite... interesting one to read... but for its not so subtle CP overtones. He also made a kickstarter to make a color physical edition of said comic, it even got funded, but he never released it, effectively scamming all his bakers. Such a nice guy Luke...

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

So a bit of a fun fact about Steven Universe, it's a board-driven show, meaning the storyboard artists have a pretty big say in how episodes will play out. This also resulted in a lot of board-artists putting in their own style or spin on the characters. This made characters look consistent within an episode, but inconsistent throughout the series. After that Luke Webber entry I had to look up which episodes he boarded to see if he was one of the styles I loved or one of the ones I hated. The only episode the SU Wiki credits him with on his page is Arcade Mania, which was kind of a mid art-style-choice for me. Though, one of the screencaps of that ep also shows Pearl having buttcheeks. They didn't give her those in many episodes, and knowing who was behind that one now I think we all know why they were added.

[@oshkeet]

It's ironic SU references Sailor Moon a few times, since thats basically the anime equivalent to the same practice. Though with anime, it's usually when guest overseers/animation directors are allowed to do "their" episode in their own style; it can make for some VERY weird looking episodes when watched back-to-back and some creators become infamous (e.g., Itou's 'pretty but difficult to animate' style vs Ando's "good facial expressions but every looks like chunky soup")
