The more I look at those screen shots the more horrified I am..I just don't want MLP to be...that.I am curious why the consensus seems to be that Pony Life will be short lived and the movie will be G5. Is it because of all those leaks of the M6 in different styles from a while back? Or is it that many are HOPING that the movie will be something better? Because that's where I'm at currently. Haha. I'll gladly eat my words if PL ends up actually being good but I'm not optimistic.

I'll gladly eat my words if PL ends up actually being good but I'm not optimistic.I'm tired of the TTG animation and its stupid brand of humor. Idk about everyone else but I do NOT want this to be the face of MLP for the next decade, so I'm hoping this is a brief transitory stage. I don't think it will be transitory though.Because Hasbro hasn't cared about putting out decent MLP in a long time. They don't give a flying unicorn turd as they've done nothing but cheap out in every single way.
Ugh. Here we have a Luna with lovely blues and its on this mould. Darnit Hasbro!
For me, the CalArts style is the only type of animation that I can't stand to watch.
Yeah, unfortunately the term "CalArts" has become the go-to word for the popular trend of flat, rounded character designs with bean shaped heads and noodle limbs. People typically think Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Clarence, that kind of stuff when they say CalArts, even if it's not entirely accurate.

Whoa, that's a lot!Because all of those are CalArts. CalArts was founded by the Disney brothers, so basically CalArts style = Disney style.

Here: this is what's considered CalArts style. And no, I don't watch any of the shows pictured, although I acknowledge their popularity. I'm not referring to the institute - I'm referring to the beanface style which has been given a nickname by others.Would it be easier if I just said 'bean mouth' from now on?

"CalArts Style" as a negative term has been around since the early 90s when "bean mouth" didn't exist. I certainly wouldn't have asked you if you don't watch FiM (Lauren Faust is a CalArts grad) if you just said "I hate the mouth shape". That nickname came about because CalArts has too much power in the animation industry and that makes other schools graduates jealous (rightfully so). The art style is ever changing following trends. The real problem with CalArts is that they are dominating the industry. They aren't forcing their graduates to adopt a style (more so they are teaching Nine Old Men stuff because they are Disney, as I have already mentioned).Tl;Dr: We only se bean-mouth stuff right now because it is popular, not because it was orchestrated by CalArts
