    Im glad it's starting to change with newer animated films, but one of my gripes with lots of mainstream animation before is when the characters are in a completely different style from the backgrounds. Most of the time the backgrounds are realistic while the characters look cartoony.
    I like that with these films there's a nice balance where the backgrounds are just as jagged and abstract as the characters.

    Wow! I always noticed some similarities between Paranorman and The Boxtrolls, specifically the props. But now that I know the differences, Paranorman lines aren't supposed to be straight or parallel and Boxtrolls is supposed to look worn out and used. I can easily tell the difference between the two! Amazing Episode 🙌❤

    As a kid, I always enjoyed Paranorman more than Coraline, which was definitely unusual at least with my friends, and I still like it more to this day. The point of this, is that I never really understood why or what about it, I could only say I liked how it “looked.” This video finally made me realize that it’s the contorted art design, there’s something about it that makes the entire movie for me. It just bleeds character.

      Do you want modern Pixar? That's how you get modern Pixar. Seriously I'm so glad Laika doesn't treat their movies like franchizes but rather like individual works of art and when they finish one they move onto the next idea unlike the rest of AMerican movie industry that's stuck in endless cycle of reebots and sequels.
