Pinned thread Art Style analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

[DannyWapbang]

The season 1 artstyle is the best. Everything looked so cute. The cel animated PPG is also another favorite of mine.

What can I say? Cel animation makes everything look cute! (For example, a Hanna-Barbera cartoon like Quick Draw McGraw or even Birdman.)

I think season 1 is ugly, but it does look decent when it has thicker lines

I think season 1 is ugly for the most part, it does look better when the episodes have thicker lines

Home Sweet Rubble and Karen 2.0 are essentially season 8 noodlebob

The thick lines just add to the cuteness of the animation. You can see thick lines in many HB shows, btw.

Season 2 and 3 look more human crafted, while season 4 onward look very computerized

In season 5 of the Farily OddParents, timmy has a very large chin:

If I recall correctly, season 3 of Adventure Time was when the animation started to change, I think "Hitman" was the last episode to have the show's original art style

The season 3 episode of Adventure Time “Conquest of Cutness” had to have been produced for season 2, it has the same animation and background music as the first two seasons, even though it’s the third season premiere, same with “Memory of a Memory”, and “Still”, those episodes also have the animation and background music of season 1/2

Now that I'm rewatching season 3 of Adventure Time, there were a few other episodes that had the animation style of the first two seasons, Ghost Princess and The Creeps also had the animation and soundtrack of seasons 1/2. Some episodes look like a blend of both art styles

In Johnny Test, Eugene has a chip in his tooth in season 1, but in the flash seasons, he doesn't have one

Ironically season 1 has the least amount of animation errors

Like SpongeBob with the double chin error

In season 1, Dukey walks and stands on four legs like an actual dog, whereas the flash seasons he walks and stands on two legs.

Season 1 also doesn't have the same facial expression twice, because it's the only season to be done traditionally. The flash seasons reuse poses and facial expressions

 

[SpongeyMind]

Season 1 of Johnny Test moves slower than the flash seasons

flash should only be used on web series imo

No Flash is a really good tool, just look at shows like Superjail

When I was little I thought every pre-movie episode of Spongebob was cel animated

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

There are no markerbob Mermaidman and Barnacleboy episodes, II doesn't count because it's cel animated

A Pal for Gary is post-movie cubebob:

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

I Was a Teenage Gary was very creepy because it has a lot of weird stuff that you would only see in modern Spongebob episodes, and seeing Spongebob's body stretch and do all sorts of weird things in traditional cel animation makes the experience more uncanny

 

[Fear Of A Nerdy Patty]

When did Cubebob generally take place?
