What is your favorite animation studio purely on animation style?

Posted by tylergenis

My personal pick is illumination, it just feels like there style of colors pops more than other animations. Dreamworks is a close second for me, the wild robot is amazing. Disney is sometimes pretty bland, especially the live action remakes. (Don’t get me started on the Moana trailer) Sony is my least favorite, I know the Spiderverse movies are universally loved but the style just gives me a headache personally

90s/2000s Madhouse. It wasn't just the style, they were making good movies\\series in general, but they did had some great artists working for them.

What an odd choice to even include that comment about Disney "live action remakes"

Yeah, Walt Disney Animation Studios is NOT the same as Walt Disney Pictures. Same owner, two different houses.

OP will look you dead in the eye and say that a cartoon movie about a Robot in the wilderness is in the same category as a movie with The Rock, in human form, playing a Polynesian person. Could have chosen idk Zootopia 2 but nope. Picked a movie with actual humans playing humans.

Try to find 'Twice upon a time'. Very similar style.

Studio Ghibli for me, but also Dark Age Disney.

I’d probably go with DreamWorks

Of those currently putting stuff out, Laika by a wide margin.

Korty Films, and whatever Mike Jittlov called himself.

Illumination definitely nails that high-contrast, 'toy-like' aesthetic that makes everything feel tactile and fun. If you like that vibrant pop, you should check out Cartoon Saloon (Wolfwalkers). It’s 2D, but the colors and geometry are so bold it makes Disney’s modern 3D stuff look flat by comparison

Studio shaft. I watched a lot of series because they animated it even if I wasn't originally interested in the plot, but they do an incredible job to make it so visually engaging.
