Why have cartoons got so spikey?

TheCatWoman

One of the things I've noticed over the last decade or so is how angular and spikey cartoon characters have become, why do people have to have noses that look like the prow of a yatch? Chins that could be used as pickaxes and big eyes with spikey eyelashes? I wouldn't want cartoons to be all soft and rounded like early Disney, but just more normal looking. I find them really freaky to look at and it puts me off.

  • I think it is partly stylistic choice and partly because it is easier and cheaper to animate this in software, since cartoons are not drawn frame by frame by hand. Simpler angular shapes work better.

    I think it is mostly style though, to look modern and contemporary. Except, of course, if everyone does it, it looks conformist rather than different.
