hey so, i really dig this particular style of animation but I don’t know what it’s called:

  • thicker lineart but with obvious weight, interesting usage of curves and angles
  • characters are fairly colorful but it’s more muted and retro-style, it blends with the background. sometimes colors are even more stylized for effect depending on the scenes, overall aesthetically pleasing
  • its generally pretty cartoony
  • character designs are diverse but they all retain some sort of charm, im not sure how to describe it but theyre all pretty funky and flowy and i really like that
  • usually big, oval-shaped, expressive as FUCK eyes
  • animation itself is pretty smooth and stretchy, usually traditionally animated. lots of facial expressions, very fun to look at

i know for a fact that not every early 2000s cartoon had this style but i really like it, idk if theres a specific name for it. 

The style is based off of the UPA style revival kicked off in the 90s. UPA was popular with early television animation in the 50s because the more simplistic style was cheaper to produce as well as aesthetically pleasing, cartoons like Ren & Stimpy brought it back from the dead as retro cool.

This is my personal favorite style

This style seriously needs a comeback. And I’m not just saying that because it was probably the most influential to me.

I’m a frequent patron of paranormal Reddit threads so I’ve read possibly well into the hundreds of short ostensibly true personal stories of the unknown befalling an unexpecting person, but absolutely none of them have been constantly on my mind like the short and baffling story of a man who, while at the grocery store, was pointed at by a toddler who proceeded to say his full name
