The original style has more charm to me. May not be as expressive with the animations, but it looked more stylish. Maybe I'm just too nostalgic for the older style
While the new art style looks alright to me, the original cel animation style sorta reminds of those old Film Roman cartoons from the 1980s/1990s, a la Garfield and Friends and a few others and I'm fond of it.
@@glenncraigmeyer07 Stephan Hillenburg stopped writing episodes after the 3rd season and first movie. It's literally not the same show. I'm not hating on people that like the newer spongebob though.
Even so, the look of new sponge is still very bright and saturated, the direction all over the place with its animation, THEN comes the writing. Honestly they need to start somewhere so why not with it’s overall style? Rhetorical question btw
Would be cool if for an anniversary they made a spinoff series using the original art style and packed in a bunch of references to the episodes from '99.
Fun fact: Season One of SpongeBob was the only season to use cel animation, a method where each individual frame was painted onto a sheet of cellophane.
Season 1's color palette is where a lot of the warmness comes from While the newer seasons are bright and vibrant season 1 always resticted itself with what colors to use, that along with the different texture of surfaces give it a nice feel.
Why everyone seems to include the movie in the golden era? It already feels like Season 4 stuff with the meh writing and high emphasis of acting silly and childish
(Sorry for my very poor english) Thanks for sharing my art, and the support that all of you have given, I really appreciate this kind of thing, and about to which art style I like the most. Well, I love both styles of drawing and animation, in fact my goal wasn't to have a debate about which style is better. My curious vision only made me wonder, what would these characters look like if they still had an older style. And since they are only images it doesn't cost me that much, but an animation is something more complex and that should be appreciated no matter the year, style or the way the animators work. In any case, Thanks for the feedback :)
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest UA-camr EVAH! Please agree, dear kev
The one thing that I love about the artist’s style is that he made the modern episodes look almost exactly like how the show looked back in season 1. It gives it more of a sense of nostalgia and it shows an evolution of how much the entire show has changed in over 20 years. I prefer the season 1 look more because of how sophisticated the characters movements are. It may not have the same animation that seasons that followed it would be known for using, but the season 1 style still has the charm that made the characters so beloved and iconic.
it's not just nostalgia. the desaturated colors, the authentic cels look, the way the characters aren't overexpressive and even to the slow pacing is what made spongebob feel cozy and comforting. the modern spongebob style isn't bad by any means, but it feels like eating a full pack of sweet candy after a warm hot coco
To be honest. Both is great. Style 1 is old school and nostalgic. New style is rather... interesting and curious. They can do a lot of stuff that wasn't possible back then and you know, I can see that. Either way, I can't see which i wouldn't enjoy out of the two.
if there was a way for them to use the more convenient animation methods of the newer seasons and apply those to the cozier art style of the older seasons I feel like that would be the best option
Something I've always noticed about SpongeBob's art style is that he is now more rectangular than he used to be. In season 1, his edges looked like they were going narrower from head to pants.
These redraws really feel so fun and charming. When you look at the modern eps, there's just something about the faces that don't seem right, but when you look season 1 or two and three, the characters and expressions are just lovable and fun to look at
The older style screams nostalgia, when SpongeBob comes to mind I think of classic SpongeBob, it has more personality and life to it, it’s color palette is pleasing to the eyes
There’s something about the old one that makes me happy I think it’s cool that someone would make a modern version of something and turn in to when it first started
I really like how the show is less expressive in the earlier seasons, and there's more of an underwater theme. There's bubbles when people move, and objects like phones are drawn as shells. The old episodes were a lot less zany, they had a more mature tone and more adult humor to them. Everyone around Spongebob seemed perpetually annoyed and just meandering through life, which was a better contrast with Spongebob's overly chipper attitude ("Coming to bed, dear? Yes, honey.")
I find it cool how the color scheme of the Lord Poltergeist in the classic style is only shades of blue, just like how the Flying Dutchman's is only shades of green!
I honestly like both styles the same, because the original has its charm and is what started it all, but when newer episodes are being made with newer styles, we are able to see more of what SpongeBob can really do/do more than the original can offer. Cartoons from 1990 and before will always have limitations, but as cartoons progress, like I said with SpongeBob, we can have more to the cartoon without all the limitations of cartoons of past. As the times progresses, the same thing shall happen to today's cartoon, including SpongeBob.
@@beatles123 lmao of course the spongeboomer has to try and diss the hard work of the newer art and animation staff, and completely ignore what this comment was trying to convey
I recall watching the My Leg! Episode where they recreated the first leg gag in the show in the modern art style and it made me realize, it can go both ways too. The new and old art styles of the show are charming in their own way, the 1999 style being more personal and natural to look at, while the 2010s are more eye catching and make room for smoother scenes. I respect both as the show utilizes each to its fullest.
Drawing new media in retro style is very interesting in my book. I mostly do the same myself. Seriously, the way he drew these screenshots looks exactly like something from an actual classic SpongeBob episode.
If they polished up the original style, I think it would work wonders. As you know, ALL of the characters went through major design changes to fit the modern theme. If they kept the original styles, but switched to modernized animation techniques, I think it would work better. Don’t know if that’s even possible, but hey, that’s my thoughts.
Imo I hate how wacky the current animation is. Fun fact: the entirety of S1 was did with cels. It was actually the only season that used cels as in S2 they would switch to digital.
I care far more about how the design of the characters both visually and their writing changed than how the production medium changed. While I don't like how Spongebob himself looked in season 1 so much, I love how he looked in season 2. I wish he stayed that way. I liked when he looked like a funny little dude instead of a literal kindergartener
I've said it before, and i'll say it again. The amount of charm season one has is all in part to the cel animation. Like It is so calm and set back compared to the later seasons using digital animation.
I'm personally more of a season 2 lover when it comes to the best style but I think both season 1 and modern spongebob are unique and great in their own ways. I like them both for different reasons. I lean towards season 1 for nostalgia though.
To be honest, I grew up watching the old art style of Spongebob and I still love it to this day, you just can't beat the classics, so I'm gonna go with the original version for both the artwork and the show.
I think the style of s2&s3 was the golden midpoint. Between the classic s1, whilst being cleaner, slightly more expressive than s1, but not even close to moderns expresiveness.
You know, this is something that I have always wondered: What if the cartoons these days reverted to their golden age? I talk about the SImpsons too, but Spongebob work as well. Artstyle is a major thing, and also personality. In the past, characters weren't hollows, they were beings.
I prefer the old style. Not only does it has this certain charm to it (as everyone has stated), it also looks like kids had a hand in drawing it, having it imperfect and whatnot. That's what really connects me to the older style.
It would definitely be a cool SpongeBob idea if the modern SpongeBob met classic SpongeBob what are two different art styles I can see that as an anniversary episode or special
This is for the record, the coolest piece of SpongeBob-related art I've seen in a while. I've always wondered what the modern episodes would look like in the original style. As for which style I prefer, I'm season 1-3 all the way. The animation today is just too bright and overly expressive for me. I prefer the more relaxed feel of the original episodes.
Well i like the new versions of animations it might be brighter and smoother but it add ao much more details and nice movement the old style is great but it was kinda blurry on backgrounds but it was more classic and home feeling if you all understand there is alot of ups and downs but they are both great
I do really love the old styles from seasons 1-3 for their charms and such, but I also really love the style they’ve been using since the later half of season 9 tbh for its super big expressiveness!
The old style was so good and unique. I know we cant go back on time but i think the artstyles change to spongebob were so drastic that it seems like another cartoon based on the property
The original style is better to me because the more dull backgrounds make the characters pop more. When looking at the new one, my eyes don’t have anything to focus on
Okay, now I actually think Season 1 of Spongebob (1999-2000) is my favorite Season, now. I love the way how all the characters look. Some of the classic Episodes are actually very beautifully written stories.
If season 1's cell animation could be studied, and with the endless possibilities of animation, I'm sure the show's crew or even a small team can bring this style back. At least for a second
i dont like modern spongebob, but the style recreated in the 1999 format is enough to make me smile. do a video on popee the performer next. i was surprised that show was directed at KIDS.
Modern Spongbob's animation is absolutely gorgeous and I genuinely believe it to be one of the best looking cartoons ever made. It just shows Bikini Bottom from angles we have never seen before and the characters are so expressive (though, sometimes a bit too much imo). The original style in season 1 is so charming and nostalgic, and I think I like it equally to the current style
SpongeBob's Season 1 style IS SO CHARMINGGGG
Yup

At least now the animation team is trying to recreate the old animation style but to bring some modern into it.
this is giving me nostalgia for episodes that didn’t even exist when i was a kid

The original style looks so vaporwave, & eye-opening in my point-of-view ngl.
for me, i’m not into bright colors but more of a darker shade like the original.
I’m not a fan of how expressive the new animation is. To me, it comes off like they’re trying too hard and makes me cringe
The biggest problem with modern spongebob isn’t the look of it, it’s the personality of characters and overall writing of episodes.
Shut up
Yup. That's what I noticed when watching new SpongeBob episodes. It's not the same not because of the animation, but because of how it is scripted.
