I wonder if the main character is quirky, super clumsy, undervalued and pure as gold

@Gamebatt1

If Pixar had stopped with 'Luca' its unique visual style would have remained special. But since they keep using the same style in other films, it's starting to feel generic.

@duyngo7697

I dont think it just the art style. Its also the main characters. They are all kids. Pixar used to have toys, duo fish, young adult car, rat, family retired hero,… now its just kids with funny issues

@engar-dug5197

They shaved all the edges off the visuals.

That's not a metaphor. They literally removed any sharp edges or points. It's like looking at a preschoolers toybox.

@ahmedtaraque

Before, every pixar release was an event, now most don't even care.

@SuperStingray

I don't dislike the style because it's ugly, I dislike it because it's safe.  It's functional, modular, paint-by-numbers.  You could take a screenshot from Elio, Turning Red or Luca and someone who didn't know those movies could easily think they were the same film.

@chewy99.

This style is pretty much the simple clean and flat corporate design you see used by big companies like google and YouTube but for 3d animation

@kramerfortuna7228

Art style aside, there's a huge difference between a "kid-friendly movie" and a "kids' movie."  I feel like some of the major studios have sadly forgotten that fact.

@gabelster3729

“A character becomes visually interesting not by what they wear or look like, but more so by how distinctive their silhouette is” This HAS to be one of the biggest art tips I’ve heard in my life. Thank you so much dude.

@TheWanderofChrist

Why do people say, "It's a kids' movie," like the kid is gonna drive there, pay for the movie ticket, to watch it?

@starscreamonaleash

I personally enjoyed the style in Luca, but only because there where some unique animation aspects that helped it stand out a little in comparison to other Pixar films. I wish the style had been associated only with Luca so other films could have their own, distinct look. It makes everything blur together.

@silentdragon1555

Funny enough....Wallace and Gromit got this right over 20 years ago.....

@bpsara

It’s never meant to be just “kids movies” but FAMILY movies. They’re supposed to include children, teens, adults and even elders so they watch them together!

@TheSillyBillyHeHe

Pixar is basically developing same face syndrome.. 😭

@clblowe

It worked in Luca, where the tone and artstyle was already super bubbly and vibrant. No so much in most other iterations of the style

@interlapsed

The term "Bean mouth" just sent me into whiplash to the 2017 art commentary community

@DarthEquus

5:28 Against the argument that it's just supposed to be a kids' movie, Walt Disney himself said it: “You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.”

EDIT: Over 9000 likes? You are all too kind, thank you! ❤

@theheavenlyfb4071

Pixar used to make unique styles while still being able to tell straight away that it's a PIXAR movie. I look at this and think "who made this?" because genuinely if I'd been told it was Dreamworks, or Illumination? I'd believe that.

@Fixti0n

I hate the "Its for kids" argument.
Kids deserve better stories, much more so then adults.
Us adults can recognize bad stories and bad morals, and thus can dismiss bad stories.
Kids have yet to develop media literacy and take in everything, you can see the ripples of the stories that we grew up with, so kids are the once who need and deserve good stories the most.

Someone said "Turning Red looks like the Grubhub commercial" and I could never unsee it.
