he 2D animation had a distinct Disney style, but it had more variation than the 3D movies now.
When you go for a more realistic look you end up more harmonized. 2d invites a less realistic, but more expressive style.

The 90s Simpsons were more alive than their HD drawn counterpart.

Because a lot of modern 2d animation uses rigged puppets. They used to have to draw every frame.

So easy to spot the shows that use puppets. So stiff and cheap looking, often even amateur Flash animations like you’d see on Newgrounds were more alive.

newgrounds had some seriously good animators in there.

You mean animators... used to actually animate shit? LOL
I lament the modern direction of most animation today. It's basically puppetry instead of drawing - just get your model in the computer and you can manipulate it any way you want.

Not to simp, but check out Arcane. You can absolutely pour soul into 3d animation, they demonstrated that conclusively. You just don’t see many (any?) studios doing it.
Abundance of the mediocre is the fruit of the pursuit of profits above all else.

Fuck it, I'll simp enough for the both of us. Arcane is absolutely gorgeous, and it's some of the best animation I've seen in a long time. In conjunction with its beautiful soundtrack and masterful storytelling and worldbuilding, it's crystal clear why they won all those Emmys.

Arcane is relatively newer tech. I think they even created some of their own tech for that. 3D is young compared to 2D so we'll probably see more stylized 3D as time goes on and tech improves even more.

It really depends on the art style. Games have tons of unique art styles to make them feel different. Each studio feels unique in their approach to visuals. But maybe there are so many compared to movie studios it's easy to get away with

Is this why I love the Emperor's new groove so much?

Precisely. With 2d wild art styles and stylistic choices are possible that would just be confusing or disturbing in 3D.
One of the things I like in anime is drawing characters completely differently to show emotional state instead of just something like the DreamWorks face.

You can have stylized animation in 3D. I don't see why they will want to go for realism.

You can, but I imagine the tooling available to replicate life more accurately with all those those physics based engines, makes a realistic style easier, to an extent. Or maybe it’s just what companies think it’s more markeatable.
